Original historic description: 

Ancient German Fortress Again Taken over By U.S.
The historic 15th Century fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, on the east bank of the Rhine opposite Coblenz, was captured March 27, 1945, by soldiers of the First U.S. Army.
The fortress, which served as headquarters of U.S. General John J. Pershing during the occupation of Germany following the last war, was found to contain paintings and historiacal treasures in unterground chambers. City records from Bonn, Cologne and Coblenz and the archives of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg were also in the fortress. Before being taken by First Army soldiers, Ehrenbreitstein served as a Gestapo headquarters.
