Bridge attacks

Post by OrderInChaos »

I would think attacking across a bridge is pretty detrimental to an Attacker instead of a defender without any form of surprise. Are there some good resources on these types of attacks in WW2 or good examples showing the results of such attacks/defense that you can direct my way.

Thank you

Sadly, the only thing that comes to mind is this snippet of dialogue from A Bridge Too Far.

Brig. Gen. James Gavin: What's the best way to take a bridge?
Maj. Julian Cook: Both ends at once.
Gavin: I'm sending two companies across the river by boat. I need a man with very special qualities to lead.
Cook: Go on, sir.
Gavin: He's got to be tough enough to do it and he's got to be experienced enough to do it. Plus one more thing. He's got to be dumb enough to do it... Start getting ready.
