Best Answer

In a Jeep on a pontoon bridge south of Mainz. He and his 3rd Army crossed 24hours before anyone else. They went back north to support the rest of the troops crossing over. Prior to that though, as soon as he crossed the Rhine, he exited his Jeep and walked over to the River and peed in it. The stories of this are true, I assure you, because my father was with him. My fathers unit was the 667th Field Artillery, HQ Company, 9th Armored Division, attached to Patton's Third Army.
