The axis used the remains of the Luftwaffe, artillery and V1 rockets to try to destroy the remagen bridge, but without success. The artillery constantly bombard the opposite river bank, while the German divisions were entrenched to resist attack. Patton and Montgomery armies prepare to cross the Rhine, trying to secure the bridges, using boats and floating bridges. Allied HQ is hastily rushing reinforcements to the area, to counter the surprise attack and prevent them from crossing Meuse river.

The paratroopers met their targets quite effectively, but were isolated from the armored support, fighting with heavy casualties until run out of ammo.
What at first seemed a perfect plan became hell for the Men of the XXX corps. The Luftwaffe was almost nonexistent and allied air supremacy makes the difference against the powerful axis tanks. The German anti-tank and machine guns were hiding in any corner. Hedges became death traps for the infantry and Shermans.
