Using British, Canadian, and American forces under his command, Field Marshal Montgomery planned to seize the west bank of the Rhine river between Cologne and Arnhem in two steps. Launched on February 8, 1945, Operation "Veritable" called for the Canadian First Army to advance strike south-east from Nijmegan toward the German city of Wesel. Although delayed by flooding, the U.S. Ninth Army began Operation "Grenade" on February 23, crossed the Roer river, moved north-east, and eventually met Canadian troops at the German town of Geldern. Once he reached the Rhine, Montgomery planned to thrust the Second British Army into the heart of Hitler's Germany and destroy Hitler's Thousand-Year Reich. Unable to match the Allies in terms of men or material, opposing German commanders tried to block the Allied advance by flooding the region. Poor local roads could not support heavy vehicle traffic, hampered the Allied advance, and aided German defences. Fighting under miserable weather conditions, American and British soldiers marched over soggy terrain without much support from armoured formations or air power. Canadian and American troops reached their objectives on March 3, prepared to cross the Rhine, and planned for the final stage of the Second World War.
