Hi !
Are you shure about Hungary 1991 ?
I can=B4t imagine US forces in Hungary just 2 years after the Wall felt !
US Army made a bridge across the Sava River in 1995 (the Sava River forms
the the border between Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, before going in as =
a
part of the IFOR (Operation Joint Endevour).

AFAIR it was the largest pontton bridge ever made, and I=B4m not shure you=
can
compare it to the bridge i Germany in 1945.
Tried to get some txt about the operation, but the NATO-server seems to be=
overloaded these days (wonder why :-))
Have a nice day :-)
