Twisted steel is not Nijmegen bridge, but 'a bridge' crossing the Lys/Leie river. You can see proof on the map: there are roadsigns to French and Belgian cities that wouldn't make sense if it's set in Nijmegen, Holland. The map is also part of the French grand operation. It's possible that the bridge is moddeled after the bridge in Nijmegen, but the map certainly isn't set there.

[@AKAARTOFFICIAL]

Yeah I had the same feeling about the location but the bridge is definitely modelled on the Nijmegen bridge.

I live in Norway, however not in Narvik, and I was really suprised that dice had included it in the game, because it's not in games very often. And I can tell you that the Norwegian maps are so good, and they just give me a feeling of Norway, especially Narvik, and Lofoten islands. I love them.

In 2015 we also had 8 Canadian veterans and their families passing through the city (Leeuwarden) it was pretty impressive. 70 years of freedom that day and for us especially thanks to the Canadians.

[@AKAARTOFFICIAL]

Yes, i believe they took inspiration from the bridge and placed it in France.

[@ole7762]

There was a prologue part with the bridge in nijmegen

[@willemsmitjes1094]

There acctually is a map from the bridge in Nijmegen (Waalbrug) but it is only on singleplayer

[@AgentBO]

Ok, I live in Nijmegen so let's set all the points straight. -In the prologue of the game you see the Nijmegen Waal Bridge, that's the bridge seen in the game. -The bridge AKA-ART zooms in on in google maps at the beginning of the video is the railway bridge(that one is the other of two bridges during WWII, we have 3 bridges now) and is not featured directly in the game. -The twisted steel bridge also has more then one arc which non of the bridges in Nijmegen have, also the visual style during that time was really popular. -The Waal bridge with it's oval arc is the most famous one and was a bigger focus point during Operation Market Garden because it is much wider and is much better for supply soldiers and armor since it actually has a road while the other bridge was just a railway. Know it's a long post with a bit too much info but there are a lot of"I am Dutch or from Holland, so I know what I'm talking about" while many of them really don't.

[@jjjirvine8]

Yuri yea, they don’t understand that the bridge is based on the Waal while the map is placed in France.

The bridge in Twisted Steel, isn't Nijmegen. It is featured in the prologue War Story as "Nijmegen", but it isn't much resemblant. Nijmegen bridge is a single arch bridge, while this one has two. Also, the map is obviously set somewhere else, between France and Belgium. Also, there is not Nijmegen city to be seen. The in game model may have been partly inspired to Nijmegen for the non-destroyed truss arch (the non-destroyed arch also features a truss "gallery" before the arch that is not present in the real life bridge), but that's all the similarity. There were a lot of truss bridges in Europe, like the Arnhem Bridge or the Ludendorff bridge at Remagen just to name a couple that were theatre of important operations during WWII. Or the Wilhelm bridge in the Rotterdam map. Also, if this can help with recognizing the location, "Devastation" is set around the real life Grote of Sint-Laurenskirk, erroneously called the "cathedral" of Rotterdam in game (it is actually a protestant church). It is featured in the photos of the destroyed city, although the belltower wasn't as destroyed as it is in game. Another interesting info, the city in "The Last Tiger" War Story is probably based on Cologne. The truss bridge is definitely based on the real life Hohenzollern bridge. You may want to search for the real life tank battle of the Cologne cathedral, not very important in itself, but extremely well documented. Sadly, they have recycled the model of the Rotterdam "cathedral", instead a creating a new one based on the medieval gothic Cologne's Cathedral (which looks entirely different). Thanks for the video, it was very interesting to see!

[@DiverseFeiten]

Wll if you watch on 1:10 You can see dutch licenses plates.

Hate to ruin the party but Twisted Steel is based on a location in France, not Nijmegen. You can read that here www.ea.com/nl-nl/games/battlefield/battlefield-5/news/battlefield-5-twisted-steel-map You can tell by the elevated/rough terrain; Nijmegen's environment is almost entirely flat and there's not really a swamp near the bridge. Nijmegen is in the Singleplayer intro though, so that's probably where the confusion came from.

Rapeseed was cultivated in France way before WW2, so it's safe on that side. Arras isn't a very big city. My family is from there and my grandfather still lives near the center. It's absolutely gorgeous during spring with all the flowers and birds. There's rapeseed cultivated around the city so it's believable. Although it looks like a small village near Arras, something like Roclincourt looks like the village depicted in the game. I'm really glad that Dice decided to depict early battles. Arras is a city loaded with historical places (especially WW1 but also WW2). Please pay a visit if you can :)!

0:20 That massive bridge om Twisted Steel in inspired by the Bridge of Grave nearby Nijmegen. Its was the 1st of the 3 bridges conquered to get into Arnhem, as part of Operation Market Garden. in BF 1942, that Map is part of the game and the bridge is the one shown in Nijmegen,however, not this one in BF5. So, Twisted Steel = Grave Bridge AkaThompson bridge.

The map Twisted Steel is in Belgium / France. There are some French tekst on signs and stuff, in Nijmegen they only speak Dutch. The bridge however looks similar to the bridge in Nijmegen, but its not the Nijmegen bridge. Dice made a huge mistake in the intro where they said its the Nijmegen bridge, but if you look close enough you see that both bridges ( intro and twisted steel ) are the same. There has been some really heavy fighting in and around Nijmegen during Market Garden ( 1944). Oh and for the people who say that Nijmegen is not The Netherlands, go check your maps for god sake, I live in the place.

Bdw I found this about twisted steel. I got this from the official BF5 site: ‘While not portraying a specific historical event, Twisted Steel is heavily inspired by the events at the fortified sector of the river Escaut in 1940, on the border between Belgium and France.’

[@Michue_l]

the first location is not set in the Netherlands but in France. Thanks to the information given by EA on their site and the intro for the Grand operations i can conclude that the map "Twisted Steel" is located somewhere near Condé-sur-l'Escaut where there was a defensive line which was part of the Escaut Plan in France. (The link for more information on that plan: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_France#Escaut_Plan/Plan_E) Although i could not find the Bridge i am almost 100% sure that it is near that town.

[@CartricHD]
