I was thinking more of bridges over streams not major rivers.
And since when did the military do everything 'properly' :)
So by stream you are meaning say up to 6 feet (2 m) wide, steep sides (big enough to lose your vehicle in), brush and scrub at one end of the spectrum and perhaps a trickling brook through a marshy soggy mess (no traction sink up to the axles) at the other?
Even these you couldnt just fill them in and forget them...
How generally available were scissors bridges and other sexy toys throughout the war? Or was it all much simpler and ad-hoc than that?
