Introduction

The broad Dnepr River presented a serious barrier to the Axis advance, and without a river flotilla of their own the Germans and Romanians were forced to build extremely long pontoon bridges to get their forces across. That might have been easier with some river craft and monitors to protect them, but the Soviets would still have a say in the matter.

Conclusion

Ferrying troops across rivers was a primary task for the inland flotillas – the Soviet Volga Flotilla made the defense of Stalingrad possible by assuring a constant stream of reinforcements as well as ready fire support. Both the Germans and Romanians eventually threw pontoon bridges over the big river; the German-Romanian bridge constructed at Berislav in early September was the longest such structure ever built while under enemy fire.
