“Operation\u00a0Veritable<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(also known as the Battle of the Reichswald) was the northern part of an\u00a0Allied<\/a>\u00a0pincer movement<\/a>\u00a0that took place between 8 February and 11 March 1945 during the final stages of the\u00a0Second World War<\/a>. The operation was conducted by\u00a0Field Marshal<\/a>\u00a0Bernard Montgomery<\/a>‘s Anglo-Canadian\u00a021st Army Group<\/a>, primarily consisting of the\u00a0First Canadian Army<\/a>\u00a0under\u00a0Lieutenant-General<\/a>\u00a0Harry Crerar<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0British XXX Corps<\/a>\u00a0under\u00a0Lieutenant-General<\/a>Brian Horrocks<\/a>. The objective of the operation was to clear German forces from the area between the\u00a0Rhine<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Maas<\/a>\u00a0rivers, east of the German\/Dutch frontier, in the\u00a0Rhineland<\/a>. It was part of\u00a0General<\/a>\u00a0Dwight D. Eisenhower<\/a>‘s “broad front” strategy to occupy the entire west bank of the Rhine before its crossing.\u00a0Veritable<\/i>\u00a0(originally called\u00a0Valediction<\/i>) had been planned for execution in early January 1945 when the ground had been frozen and thus more advantageous to the Allies. The Allied expectation was that the northern end of the\u00a0Siegfried Line<\/a>\u00a0was less well defended than elsewhere and an outflanking movement around the line was possible and would allow an early assault against the industrial\u00a0Ruhr<\/a>\u00a0region.”<\/p>\n
