| Description: | The contrast is on the light side shaky and rolling images The crack 4th Reichswehr Pioneer Battalion efficiently throws a pontoon span over the swollen Elbe River in the record time of five hours. Swiftly and efficiently, the troops maneuver the carious units of the link together, and under forced motorized pressure complete the structure over the stream, which heavy rains have caused to overflow, and enabling the marooned villagers to resume contact with the city. | |
