Matt R:

A Brückenkolonne (bridge or bridging column) was nothing more than a convoy of trucks that carried bridge sections for the bridge-building engineers. There were different kinds depending on the size of the bridge that was to be errected. Rather than get into the finite KStN details, just think of these columns as being light, medium and heavy.

Thank you Larry!

In our Army we have a unit called "Genio Pontieri" (Bridge Engineers) which may be something similar. It's amazing how the germans where always so specific and detailed ...to issue a dog tag for those carrying bridge sections!
