Isn’t that the bridge from which Patton urinated into the Rhine?

I doubt that was the one. They were under command of Field Marshall Montgomery for a while but never Patton. They were a bastard outfit not assigned to any army but were mostly with General Simpson’s 9th Army.

My Father said one of the AA batteries claimed they shot down one of the jets. They asked the engineers to sign a form that they had done so but they refused because it flew away just fine.

The gunners said they had put some flak into it and it would never make it home but who knows.
