Engineer Memoirs
Germany, near the
River, May 1945.
Meeting with the Russians in
was in getting an adequate bridge. We didn't argue too much about exactly where the
location would be. The actual structure was built by Army engineers, and not by our
own division engineer unit.
Do you feel you had enough contact with the Russian engineers to make an assessment
of them?
I had practically none. I'm not even sure that the people we talked to reference the
A:
bridges were engineers. The fact is, I suspect that they were not, although one might
have been.
What about British engineers?
I had a liited amount of contact primarily in England in liaison and at the time of the
A:
crossing of the Rhine, since we were next to the British sector. All in all, not a great
deal of contact.
