By D+1 of the Operation Veritable campaign, the King’s Own Scottish Borderers had been ordered to cross the Westwall defenses in force near the Reichswald Forest as part of the 15th Scottish Division’s assault. They found a location to cross the Westwall in their Kangaroos without interference from the dug-in defenders. The rest of the division was unable to cross in a timely fashion so it fell to the KOSB to tackle the division’s remaining objectives by themselves. The final objective was a series of heights referred to as the Materborn that overlooked the town of Cleve.

Cleve, Germany

Operation Veritable was the northern part of an Allied pincer movement that took place between 8 February and 11 March 1945 during the final stages of the Second World War. The operation was conducted by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery's Anglo-Canadian 21st Army Group, primarily consisting of the First Canadian Army under Lieutenant-General Harry Crerar and the British XXX Corps under Lieutenant-General Brian Horrocks.
