Did british troops deploy at remagen bridge?
No, it was American troops that captured the Ludendorff railroad bridge at Remagen on March 7, 1945. It was American troops that used the bridge to cross the Rhine River at that location. The British troops under Montgomery were further north preparing to cross in their offensive sector. Also, this same bridge was used by American, French & possibly British troops after the end of the First World War (in 1918 & 1919) to cross the Rhine River. The bridge was built during the First World War.

Was the Thames once a tribributary of the river Rhine?
No. The Thames is in England, which is on an island. The Rhine is in Germany, in Central Europe.I think what you mean is 'During the last Ice age Britain was connected to Europe by a land bridge which now forms the bed of the English Channel and southern North Sea. As the mouth of the Themes is in the southern North Sea could the Themes have once flown over the land-bridge to Europe and the into the Rhine?'The answer is still no because the shape of the land-bridge was the same as the shape of the sea-bed. Therefore the Thames would flow down onto the land bridge but then would have had to flow uphill to what are now the coasts of France and the Netherlands. Instead it would have continued downhill to the coast at the time.I'm sorry to go into such detail but I wanted you to be sure that the Thames has never been a tributary of the Rhine.WRONG. The above statment is Totally and Factually incorrect. See any number of learned articles on the geography and geology of the Thames-Rhine river complex during the last sequence of glaciations.In Brief, when the southern North Sea and English Channel was DRY, due to far lower sea levels, BOTH the Thames and the Rhine flowed down from their respective present coasts into that valley/land bridge that is now the bed of the North Sea and English Channel and there they joined together, then flowed north into what was then the the "Esturary of the Rhine" as they reached the then sea coast off the present coast of Scotland.Since the water volume of the Rhine was/is greater than that of the Thames, the primary river is deemed to have been the Rhine, and the Thames to have been the tributary river, just as huge rivers like the Ohio and the Missouri are deemed tributaries of the Mississippi.

One is named Hinter Rhine and the other is the Vorder Rhine which were the basis for being named the Rhine River. · In 1986 the river was severely polluted by a chemical factory fire, within 10 days the pollution had travelled the length of the Rhine and into the north sea. · During early historic times, Germanic tribes settled on either side of the lower Rhine and Celts alongside its upper sides. · The Rhine River is a name which stems from a Celtic word meaning "raging flow."
