Was the bridge at Remagen ever rebuilt?
No , I drove past the spot some years ago and the towers are still there
but the span was never rebuilt. There was US flag on the West
Bank tower IRC, a plaque and a small museum.

It wouild be interesting to speculate as to why it was never rebuilt. No longer
needed? National humiliation? If the latter I would think all traces would have
been removed, towers and all. Any theories?
