Hello everyone! I have been living in the Niederrhein region for a short time and am interested in what happened here in the second world war. I'm looking for maps, the course of the battle and so on. Something that I don't necessarily find in books. Greetings and stay healthy
Billy, Welcome a good start for you would be Operation Veritable. VERITABLE 1945: 15th Scottish & 43rd Wessex Divisions in the Reichswald battle
