Devlog #14 Ludendorff Bridge

Don't you think we've stopped with our map series! We've just took a little break to recharge and now we're back to our journey.

As you all know Rebuilder consists of 3 cauntries at the cor- England, Germany and France. So yes, it's now time for some Germany areas- West Germany to be more percise.

Introducing- Ludendorff Bridge

During the mass invasion on Germany it was thought that the biggest difficulty would be getting to Berlin through the river Ren, because the alliance thought that germans had destroyed all of the bridges that could lead to the city. But when in 1945 american troops had arrived near the west side of Ren earlier than they had planned, it occured to them that the Ludendorf bridge near the city of Remagen was still intact, possibly being the last connection to Berlin.

The fight for the bridge, or to be more specific- to destroy it lasted for 10 days. The Nazis tried everything in their power to destroy the bridge before american troops had crossed over to the other side of Ren. Right in the very beggining of taking over the bridge by alliance at least 3 tons of explosives were detonated and during the offensive- different types of weapons like V2 missiles or prototypes that hadn't been used in regular operations.

The victory was on alliance side, but the bridge didn't surviwe all of the attacks and had collapsed. Luckily most of the alliance force had passed through the bridge and during that time there had been built an pontoon bridge and an extra truss.

Okay what's interesting about the location?


How about some alternate history? We all know that the original Ludendorf Bridge hazs been never rebuilded, but we wouldn't be true to the spirit of our game if we wouldn't do some rebuilding here right? Here it will be a nescesarity as a task, because we will need to move our crane to the other side of Ren


Some history lesson for you- in the backgroud for our rebuilding adventure you can hear about 'Golden Mile' which was a temporary enclosure for german prisoners


Another task is to pull out a wreck of an tank that is embbed into a wall of a building in a small city on the other side of Ren. The task consists of pulling out the said tank, cutting it to pieces and recycle to use it for rebuilding.


And another history moment- you can see the the Apollinariskirche Church which lies upon a hill near the city of Remegen

That's all for this map. Hope you are excited for the maps of Germany as you were for England, because we sure are!

Till next time!
