Reichswald
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Reichswald Forest, near the Dutch/ German border, lies in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany, to the east of Nijmegen, in the Netherlands, and between the Rivers Rhine and Maas. The area is wooded and liable to flooding.
Main towns in the area are Kleve, Goch, Kevelaer, Geldern and Xanten.
It was the location of a Second World War battle in February and March, 1945. German troops were prepared, in an area which largely negated the Anglo-Canadian advantages in equipment and manpower.
