I spotted this lieutenant ... = NOT Timmermann

[edit]

"While we were running across the bridge ... I spotted this lieutenant, standing out there completely exposed to the machine gun fire that was pretty heavy by this time. He was cutting wires and kicking the German demolition charges off the bridge with his feet!" This lieutenant was NOT Timmermann, but a young lieutenant of the engineers, John W. Mitchell of Pittsburgh. See http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/remagen.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.12.24.12 (talk) 22:21, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
