Photograph of Hodges Bridge built across the Rhine river, 1945. The 9th Armored Division of the First Army captured the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen in 1945. By the time the bridge collapsed after 10 days, the First Army, commanded by Courtney Hodges, had built two heavy duty bridges across the Rhine and established a bridgehead 40 kilometers (25 mi) long, extending from Bonn in the north almost to Koblentz in the south.</div>
