But also looking at the map, to think that in March 1945 multiple crossings of the Rhine River will be made and the western Allied forces will get to the Elb River by the end of April.
Roads/cities bit displaced, compared to seas/rivers/frontlines. For example Kustrin is on the Oder and one of the most savage battles of the war was taking place there at this point-so savage, that the city itself was never rebuilt, modern Kostrzyń is in a different place, built from scratch.
