Hi all,
According to photo caption, this is a Austro Hungarian pontoon bridge....but I think the pontoons are very similar or identical to German ones of Brückengerät A material ....

Re: Pontoon Bridges and assault boats
Hi Sturm 78,
excuse me, please, for my late response. I think it is an Italian pontoon, an old one, used already during WW I. Here a pic of an Italian pontoon bridge from 1918. It semms that the used pontoons are the same.
To Your last question. I totally agree with You. These are typical German pontoons from WW I, later used as Brückenmaterial A.
Best regards
Bert

Re: Pontoon Bridges and assault boats
Hi Sturm 78,
thank You very much for this pic of a Belgian infantry bridge. Very interesting for me, because I haven´t seen.
Finally I could find a pic of the wagon with an Italian pontoon (collection of the 2nd engineer regiment Piacenza). It is indeed an Italian model used during WW I. Source of the pic: https://issuu.com/istitutobeniculturali ... e_fiume/24 .
Best regards

Re: Pontoon Bridges and assault boats
The pontoon look like they are made from several pieces.
This is very interesting discussion, thanks to all for posting the great pics.
Re: Pontoon Bridges and assault boats
Hi truelove,
Yes, You are right, one pontoon is made from several pieces, all together ten pieces (ten-piece pontoon), from it two end parts with engines: here a pic with two pontoons of a "Schwere Schiffsbrücke" with the end parts, but the bridge is not a "Schwere Schiffsbrücke", but a so-called "Herbert-Gerät" or "Herbert-Brücke"ю
Regards
Bert

Hi all,
A German small infantry pontoon bridge. I am not sure if this is a standard German Army material or makeshift...

Re: Pontoon Bridges and assault boats
Hi Sturm 78,
that´s makeshift. Here a pic with an infantry footbridge on rubber dinghies made out of Wehrmacht material, a so called Floßsacksteg.
Best regards and Merry Christmas
