Product Description

Creating a battlefield river crossing scene using rubber boats

During World War II, bridges over rivers were often destroyed on the battlefield to prevent enemy advances for defensive purposes.
The advancing side will be forced to build a makeshift bridge over the river where the bridge was destroyed.
Each country organized an engineering unit to deal with such situations.
Additionally, various methods were devised to build temporary bridges over rivers, and these methods continued to develop throughout the war.
After the war, special vehicles were developed, including tanks with temporary bridges attached to their chassis.
