What is the weather in Germany along the Rhine River in early May?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The weather is fairly constant along the Rhine River year-round due to the sheer size of the body of water and the low altitude. In October it is seasonably warm and often enjoys what is called "Altweibersommer" or "old woman's (or widow)" Summer much like Indian Summer as it is called in North America. Some years after a good wine grape crop you will enjoy fantastic varieties of red wines from the lower Rheingau.

What is some information on the Pishon and Gihon rivers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Canadian 'National Post' reported on 11 January 2001 a claim that the Garden of Eden has been located. Michael Sanders, director of expeditions for the Mysteries of the Bible Research Foundation, in Irvine, California, said he found the site after a careful study of satellite photographs taken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Michael Sanders says that the Garden of Eden is in eastern Turkey because the Tigris and Euphrates rise in the mountains there . In this region, Sanders identified four rivers and linked them with the rivers described in Genesis. These are the Murat River, the Tigris, the Euphrates, and the north fork of the Euphrates. This, he says, 'proves that the Bible's description of the Garden of Eden is completely and literally accurate.'

When did the American Army cross the Rhine River into Germany?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

The river is the Rhine, but you have it flowing backward. It begins in Switzerland, flows north along the France-Germany border, through Germany, then northwest through the Netherlands where most of its water passes through the distributary Rivier Waal to Rotterdam.
