The opening move of the Rhineland Campaign. This detailed planning map was produced in preparation for Operation Veritable, the Allied assault into Germany launched on 8 February 1 945. The operation marked the beginning of the Rhineland Campaign, led by the First Canadian Army and involving British and Canadian divisions fighting through the flooded terrain of the Reichswald Forest. Labeled “SECRET – Not to be Used for Shooting,” this map outlines the combined fire plan, showing coordinated bombardments, divisional target areas, and smoke screens for the attack. It represents the careful planning and synchronization required to overcome one of the most fortified defensive regions on the Western Front. This facsimile preserves the clarity and markings of the original Allied planning document, offering an extraordinary view of the strategy behind Canada’s final major offensive of the Second World War.
