The book primarily covers the period in February and March 1945 when Allied troops reached, and then breached, the Rhine River, the traditional western boundary of Germany, and crossed it in several places.The first crossing (Mar. 7, 1945) occurred due to blind luck when the U.S. 1st Army came upon the Ludendorff Bridge (the now famous bridge at Remagen) and found it still standing. The second (Mar. 22-23) happened because of Ultra, the Allies' breaking of the Germans' Enigma code, enabling Patton's U.S. 3rd Army to known where German troops were and to thus attack at the weakest point. The third (Mar. 23-24) came about through Operation Plunder, which was Montgomery's combined land and airborne operation, comprised of overwhelming manpower, precise planning, and an abundance of materiel.
