Montgomery, "Orders for the Battle of the Rhine"

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the text of Montgomery's orders from March 9 1945, apparently titled "Orders for the Battle of the Rhine". If so would it be possible to share it here?

Thanks,
Chris

 

Various references point to this...

Conquer - The Story of Ninth Army, 1944-1945

Where things seem to be quoted and summarised. It gives the basics, I guess, but perhaps not the full text.

 

Ramiles - Good find !! ... Conquer gives a good insight in the planning process as far as the role of US Ninth Army is concerned.

Also Major L.F. Ellis: "The Defeat of Germany", Vol.II, p. 285; which gives Montgomery's final directions of March 9th, but only in outline.
