Overview:

Before Operation Blockbuster could be started, the 4th Canadian Brigade had to secure the Goch-Calcar Road, a narrow paved road approximately 2 kilometers long. While the Moyland Forest was still not completely cleared, they had to take the little village of Schwanenhof. Unknown to the Canadians, the 6th Fallschirmjager Division was, just the previous night, reinforced by elements of a panzer division. . .
