At a checkpoint by the river, a French gendarme in a kepi and belted tunic reads a document, while beside him an American in a steel helmet with a painted band and a shoulder patch takes the papers of a young woman in a coat; a man in a trench coat and spectacles waits between them, and a man in a dark peaked cap stands behind. According to the source American, French and German police checked the people crossing the bridge at Kastel, which joined the American and French zones across the Rhine.
