BIRDS OF PREY
BRIEDGEN, BELGIUM, 11 May 1940: The famous assault on Eban-Emael was only part of a sweeping operation to seize bridges 
across the Albert Canal--Belgium's first and foremost line of defense along which the Allies anticipated the Germans could be 
held at bay for five days. Even as Witzig's combat engineers debouched from gliders on the grounds of the fortress, "Assault 
Group Steel" (volunteers from the 1st Company, Fallschirmjaeger Regiment 1 led by Lt. Altmann) was coming to earth at the 
villages of Veldwezelt and Briedgen to the north. In a furious assault, the 114 Germans captured the two bridges there and 
destroyed the detonator wiring. Still under desultory fire, engineers removed the explosives. Altmann reported success and 
settled back to await relief by the 4th Panzer Division. But it was not to be that simple. The Belgian command, acting with rare 
alacrity, ordered the 2nd Carabiniers to recapture the lost bridges.
