Feb. 8, 1945
Operation Veritable was undertaken to clear the German forces from the wooded area known as the Reichswald. The 2nd Canadian division's task was to clear the way for a supply route to support an advance made by the British on their right. The narrow nature of the terrain flanked by flooded fields on the left and a dominated ridge on the right made a head on assault through the woods into the inexperienced German 84th Infantry division necessary.
