In the game
The final American chapter crosses the Rhine. The in-game crossing point is a composite rather than one exact spot.
History in brief
In March 1945 the Allies forced the Rhine around Wesel in Operations Plunder and Varsity, opening the way into the German interior.
The place today
The pin sits by Wesel’s Niederrhein bridge, on one of Europe’s busiest waterways.
Always check opening times, access rules and travel advice before you go.
