ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Operation VARSITY 21 Army Groups crossing of the Rhine - photo 3
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Operation VARSITY, 21 Army Groups crossing of the Rhine, rivalled Operation OVERLORD in size. Yet while the opening of the Allied campaign in the summer of 1944 is widely written about, there are few books covering the events around Wesel nine months later; the battle that marked the beginning of the end of the war in Europe. This book covers the American part of the Operation, codenamed FLASHPOINT, Ninth US Armys crossing of the river south of Wesel during the early hours of 24 March 1945 and the subsequent desperate battle with 116th Panzer Division in the Wesel Forest. The American part of XVIII Airborne Corps operation is also covered. The British and Canadian part of the operation, including the crossings at Xanten and Rees, the Commando raid on Wesel and the British landings around Hamminkeln are covered in a companion volume by Tim Saunders.
