Hi all,

Does somebody knows the type of this Pionierboot and the methods of transportating and building of the shown Pontonbrücken?

The bridge (photos 1-3)is a 4t Brücke (B-Gerät) made of a single row of "Halbpontons". The motor boat (photo 5) is a probabely a "100 PS Motorboot". To look for the compostion and mode of transport look for "Brückenkolonne B".
I can't recognise photo 4.

Day
Photo 4, if my sources are to be believed is /are Threshing Machines , as in farm implements.
There is a training/propaganda short film "Pioniere Voran" that sometimes is sold on e-bay as part of a compilation of training films titled "German Army Training Films". In it is an approximate 6 minute segment showing this or similar bridge being built.
From the for what it's worth files..
