Here's a great article that is featured in this month's World War II Magazine (April 2005). It's a first hand account of a combat engineer on the day that he led an assault boat across the Rhine River and into the teeth of the German defenses at St. Goarshausen. It's called Red Ran the Rhine. Interview by Paul Trickett. Article by Oscar Friedensohn.
