Ninth Army, commanded by Lieutenant General William, Hood Simpson, in February 1945, which marked the beginning of, the Allied invasion of Germany. On 9 February, the U. S. Ninth, Army—operating under Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery's, Anglo-Canadian 21st Army Group since the Battle of the, Bulge—was to cross the Roer and link up with the Canadian First, Army, under Lieutenant-General Harry Crerar, coming from the, Nijmegen area of the Netherlands in Operation Veritable, which, had started at 05: 00 on 8 February. However, once the, Canadians had advanced, the Germans opened the sluice gates of, upstream dams (Rur Dam and Urft Dam). This stopped the, Americans from crossing as planned. It had been anticipated, that the Germans would try to do this, and that General Omar, Bradley's U. S. 12th Army Group could capture them in time to, stop the flooding. " (from Wikipedia)
