On the outskirts of British-held Geldern, Second British and American 9th link up for the drive towards the river. On this drive one of the places captured by the 9th was the famous castle at Rheydt, Goebbel’s country home. American sentry is seen on guard outside. An American rocket-tank is seen in action. American soldiers at work on the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen. It was expected that the whole structure would blow up at any minute as the Germans had prepared to dynamite it before it was taken.
