British Second Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (728 words) |
 | After the failure of the operation, Second Army spent the rest of the year exploiting the salient that it had created to close up to the Rhine and Meuse rivers in the Netherlands. |
| Whilst it pinned down the German forces facing it, the Canadian First Army and US Ninth Army made a pincer movement from north and south which piered the Siegfried Line in that area and cleared the remaining German forces west of the Rhine in conjunction with further American offensives in the south of the Rhineland. |
| Second Army reached the Weser on 4 April, the Elbe on 19 April on by 7 May the Soviet Army had met up with the British forces and the shore of the Baltic Sea had been reached. |
