During Operation Veritable, the Canadian 4th Infantry Brigade and attached formations were to capture a vital stretch of roadway that connected Goch and Kalkar. The Goch-Kalkar road was a fairly ordinary paved two-lane market road surrounded by fields and a few farmsteads. The plan was fairly simple. The infantry would advance in the Kangaroos of the attached Armoured Carrier Regiment, supported by tank of the Fort Garry Horse, all behind a massive artillery barrage. Several objectives, including a “Milk Factory” (i.e., dairy barn) were to be seized and held at all costs during the initial assault.

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.
