Quotes from The Bridge at Remagen
Major Paul Kreuger:
I understand the Russians are at the Elbe.
Gen. von Brock: Yes.
Major Paul Kreuger: And here?
Gen. von Brock: Worse. Utter confusion. Every day I get orders to attack with divisions that no longer exist. Hitler still thinks he's winning the war.
Major Paul Kreuger: The Army helped bring Hitler into power. Are you saying we made a mistake?
[Kreuger is offered a last cigarette before he is executed by firing squad. He and the Nazi Officer hear planes]
Major Paul Kreuger: Whose?
Nazi Officer: Enemy planes, Major.
Major Paul Kreuger: But who is the enemy?
Major Paul Kreuger: [to General von Brock over the phone asking for reinforcements] Herr General, your regrets will not save the bridge. The two panzer battalions might.

Facts about The Bridge at Remagen
According to the book 'The United Artists Story' by Ronald Bergan, "The Bridge at Remagen was the last bridge standing over the Rhine River in 1945, which both German and American forces fought to control."
One of the first films to be shot behind the Iron Curtain. Czechoslovakia was seen by Russia as becoming too liberal in its values. In attempting to justify the forthcoming invasion by the USSR, Soviet agents spread the rumor that the American soldiers were real. Actually most of them were played by Czech students. Pictures of stored movie props were published as "proofs" of weapons shipments from the United States to arm local "reactionaries". It was even reported that American tanks were rolling through the streets and occupying the towns.
After the August 1968 Russian Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia when the film unit had to leave the country, apparently communist newspapers of the day alleged that the production of this movie was none other than a CIA project.
