Nearly 79 years ago . The battle for
the Lendof bridge changed history on
March 7th , 1945 . 1st Lieutenant Carl
Timmerman's ninth Armored Division
surprised everyone by capturing the
intact bridge . Shortening the war .
Timmerman's daring move , not only
altered war plans but expedited the end
of World War two by funneling five
divisions across the bridge . He
managed to get over thousands of
soldiers and also big tanks . So
all in all this shortened the second
World War for months in a ceremony on
March 7th , the Frankfurt consulate
members of the American Legion gro
seven and local residents commemorated
the brave souls who lost their lives in
that battle . Reporting from
Rama in Germany , I'm Sergeant Austin
Baker .
