And a look at the West Tower from the east bank of the Rhine River

Another look at the West Tower, where the peace museum is located

There is a small monument on the east bank dedicated by veterans from both the German and American Army who met on site 46 years later.

The Tunnel Entrance then...

and now...

Firmly sealed and locked. Although it appears the space inside is still used for exhibitions and festivals and what not. Another thing I learned was that for the movie, a similar bridge in Czechoslovakia was used but that Hollywood had to blast its own tunnel on the other side of the Czech bridge for filming. Also, that filming of the movie was interrupted in August 1968 when the Soviets invaded Czechoslovakia. The film people had to flee to Austria and finished filming in Germany and Italy.
