Operation Undertone, also known as the Saar-Palatinate Offensive, was a large assault by the U.S. Seventh, Third and French First Armies of the U.S. Sixth and Twelfth Army Groups as a part of the Allied invasion of Germany in March 1945 during World War II. The Seventh Army's main effort was to be made in the center up the Kaiserslautern corridor. In approving the plan, Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower asserted that the objective was not only to clear the Saar-Palatinate but to establish bridgeheads with forces of the Sixth Army Group over the Rhine between Mainz and Mannheim. On the 8th of March, 3 spearheads started their coordinated advance on Kaiserslautern.

A force of three corps was to attack abreast from Saarbrücken, Germany, along a 75-kilometre (47 mi) sector to a point southeast of Hagenau, France. A narrow strip along the Rhine leading to the extreme northeastern corner of Alsace at Lauterbourg was to be cleared by a division of the French First Army under operational control of the Seventh Army.
