During World War III, Rheine was the site of a pitched battle between NATO and Soviet forces in June 1951. The battle only lasted a day, beginning with the Soviet drive at first light. Although the U.S. forces in the town resorted to house-to-house fighting, the Soviets took Rheine before day's end. Ihor Shevchenko was one of the invaders.
