British troops fought on the German border during operation Market Garden, defending the Nijmegen (Holland) area from counterattacks in the Reichswald forest area. This fighting heavily involved the US 82nd Airborne Division. This was in September 1944.

Soon after and further south, US troops entered Germany with a bitterly-opposed, and not very successful, assault on the Aachen area.

After the failure of Market Garden the British consolidated and concentrated on securing the port of Antwerp- the allied armies were now at the end of long and thin supply lines after their breakout from Normandy in August. Later, in February 1945, the Reichswald was attacked during Operation Veritable. This brought British and Canadian troops onto pre-1939 German soil. Subsequently, the Rhine River was crossed in Operation Varsity. Both these attacks were large, planned in detail, and were typical of Field Marshal Montgomery's style of command.
