Allied forces reached Koln at the end of their drive into the industrial heart of the Ruhr in Germany. Resupplied by the closeness of their lines to the heartland, the German armies fought back hard, managing over the course of the next 3 days to push the Allied armies back to the western borders of Germany.

Now the battle rages on the borders of Germany from Esloo in Holland all the way south to Heiderscheid in Luxembourg. The fight for the crucual city of Aachen was epic in it's extremes. A rear guard action of truly monumental proportions was fought back on the French plains; by the southern based armies of the German forces fighting to hold onto the remaining French territories under German control. The town of Trelon saw a herculean struggle finally overcome by a strong company of tanks driven up by the 23rd Armour which they had pooled from all available resources in the rear brigades. A massive tank and ATG battle broke out here and was waged down to the last man before Trelon finally fell to Allied reocupation.

Having won the initiative on the central plains, the Allied armies fought the Germans all the way to the Meuse valley and linked up with the other Allied armies who had pushed south through Namur/Andenne river line to consolidate the push through the Ardennes to Luxembourg.

Everywhere the fighting is both intense and extremely deadly, with the next 2 days likely to produce the final results.
