Plaque This Time in Peace - Lest we Forget

This plaque commemorates the friendly meeting in October 1991 of representatives of the two armies at the same location where they fought in March 1945.

"This time in peace", 46 years after the capture of the Rhine Bridge, a stone with a memorial plaque was erected in the area in front of the bridge towers in Erpel. In 1995, countless American and German veterans attended a memorial service in Erpel again to commemorate what happened fifty years ago, but also to warn that peace is the only possible condition for life for people all over the world.
