The first was simply a matter of dumb luck and great presence of mind by the troops on the ground who siezed the opportunity when the Ludendorff Railroad Bridge at Remagen was found to be standing on 7 March 1945. A rapid but risky bridgehead was quickly established by the US First Army. Patton's Third Army crossed at Oppenheim on 22 March 1945 and the next day the British 21st Army made the largest lodgement at Rees and Wesel. The US Seventh Army crossed at Mannheim on 26 March 1945 and the French First Army crossed at Speyer. In 1944, the US 5th Armored Division headed east, advancing 100 miles in 8 hours, and crossed the Meuseat Charleville-Mézières, 4 September. Racing past Sedan, it liberated Luxembourg City on the 10th and deployed along the German border. The reconnaissance squadron of the Division sent a patrol across the German border on the afternoon of 11 September 1944 to be the first of the Allies to cross the enemy frontier. They returned to their original position.

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.

When Franklin D. Roosevelt said Our frontier is on the Rhine what was he indicating?
During world war two, many American congressmen were reluctant to get involved because they felt German aggression was a European matter of little concern to the united States. Roosevelt was of the opposite opinion and said the American frontier was on the Rhine, Germany's border with France, in that should Germans cross it aggressively America would immediately be in danger.
