First Across the Rhine: The 291st Engineer Combat Battalion in France, Belgium and Germany Book

Colonel David Pergrin recounts how, at the age of 26, he mobilized the companies of his 291st Engineers to help bring Hitler's advancing forces to a grinding halt in the Battle of the Bulge. Small but battle-wizened units under Colonel Pergrin's command went to work with mines, crater charges, bazookas, and small arms, effectively denying the German tanks further inroads. Colonel Pergrin goes on to retell how his recruits were then chosen to build up the bridgehead that would support the flow of Allies over the Rhine into the heart of Germany. A gritty yet wonderful tale of how skilled young soldiers and their leader applied their skills and enthusiasm during a critical moment in our nation's history.Read More
