Description

The 291st Engineer Combat Battalion was one of the tough, hard-working U.S. Army engineer combat units that literally paved the way across Western Europe. Landing in Normandy shortly after D-Day, the 291st quickly earned a reputation as a savvy, can-do unit. In December 1944, the lightly armed 291st found itself virtually alone astride the route of the Ardennes Offensive's northern panzer spearhead. Tough and confident, the 291st blew up bridge after vital bridge in the face of the assault and thus denied Germany her victory in the West. Weeks later, the 291st was selected to throw the first bridge across the Rhine River - in the face of enormous resistance. It built the longest combat bridge in Europe in record time and opened the German heartland to the Allied juggernaut.
