For 10 days in March 1945, the Luftwaffe desperately tried to destroy the Remagen Bridge across the Rhine River to prevent an American expansion of their bridgehead. In the last big German air operation on the Western Front, hundreds of planes, including the latest jet bombers and fighter-bombers launched determined but doomed attacks.
