operation barbarossa
two more 3rd army crossings—both by viii corps—quickly followed. in the early morning hours of 25 march, elements of the 87th infantry division crossed the rhine to the north at boppard, and then some 24 hours later elements of the 89th infantry division crossed south of boppard at st. goar. although the defense of these sites was somewhat more determined than that xii corps had faced, the difficulties of the boppard and st. goar crossings were compounded more by terrain than by german resistance. viii corps crossing sites were located along the rhine gorge, where the river had carved a deep chasm between two mountain ranges, creating precipitous canyon walls over high on both sides. in addition, the river flowed quickly and with unpredictable currents along this part of its course. still, despite the terrain and german machine-gun and anti-aircraft cannon fire, viii corps troops managed to gain control of the east bank's heights, and by dark on 26 march, with german resistance crumbling all along the rhine, they were preparing to continue the drive the next morning.
