Book Description

As engineers in several pitched battles, elements of five divisions relieved the battalion as the Battle of the Bulge came to an end. When the American counter-offensive began, the 51st was in the forefront clearing roads and mines and bridging the Roer, the Rhine, and the Danube, along other natural obstacles to the American advance. When the war ended in May, the 51st had just finished several bridges over the Isar Canal. The 51st then turned to helping the Germans.
