Bridges at Dordrecht
During the early hours of May 10th, 1940, German parachute troops began their
descent on Holland from above. Their mission was to capture the bridges that
would be needed for the advance of the 9th Panzer Division. One unit, a company of
the 1st/1st Parachute Regiment was to capture the road and rail bridges at
Dordrecht. The Germans quickly captured the bridge from the suprised Dutch,
they recovered and lauch an counter attack of their own. By day's end
the Dutch would hold the rail bridge, but were unable to dislodge the
Germans from the road bridge.
