On the Western Front, more than 2 million United Nations troops commanded by Eisenhower crossed the Rhine River in a mighty manner on July 20 and advanced into the hinterland of the Third Reich.

On July 25, General Patton's Third Army and Bradley's First Army, with armored forces as the forward, surrounded the Ruhr Industrial Zone, the industrial core of the Third Reich, from the north and south.

There are a large number of military industrial factories in the Ruhr Industrial Zone, and the Third Reich Wehrmacht once relied on these military industrial factories to launch a war of aggression against the world.

In the previous Allied strategic bombing, the factories in the Ruhr Industrial Zone suffered devastating damage.

Due to problems such as Allied bombing and insufficient supply of raw materials, 90% of factories ceased production.

The skilled workers in the factory were incorporated into the army, and like other Germans who were incorporated into the army, they helped the Third Reich and the Nazi government survive.

Hitler and Field Marshal Rundstedt, Commander-in-Chief of the Third Reich's Western Front. The importance of the Druhr Industrial Area to the entire country.

The High Command deployed 200,000 troops on the east bank of the Rhine and around the Ruhr Industrial Area to protect the industrial areas and prevent the Allied forces from approaching Berlin.

After the United Nations troops on the Western Front crossed the Rhine River, they quickly surrounded the entire Ruhr Industrial Zone from the north and south wings with their powerful armored mobility.

The 200,000 German troops in the industrial zone were dumped.

The land and air firepower of the United Nations forces was unprecedentedly powerful. The German army had low morale, lacked supplies, and was not well organized. It was unable to stop the powerful United Nations forces from advancing towards the Ruhr Industrial Zone.

Eisenhower was a relatively mature strategist and tactician. After the First Army and the Third Army were in place, he immediately ordered a general offensive against the 200,000 German troops in the encirclement.

Failure of the war is already doomed.

The Rhine River defense line was lost, the Allies were approaching in large numbers, and the German troops in the Ruhr Industrial Zone had no will to fight.

After two days of symbolic resistance, 200,000 German troops surrendered to the United Nations forces on the Western Front on July 27.

This was the first large-scale formal surrender of the German army to the United Nations since the Normandy landings and the surrender of Italy.

Two hundred thousand people laid down their arms, and the western gate of the Third Reich was completely opened to Eisenhower.

The impatient General Patton did not wait to accept the prisoners of war.

The day after the German surrender, the Third Army used tanks, armored vehicles and various wheeled vehicles to rapidly advance towards Berlin.

The surrender of 200,000 people left Rundstedt without any troops, and he could only watch helplessly as the Allied forces approached Berlin at a speed of 60 to 80 kilometers per day.

The war situation has reached an irreversible point, and Marshal Rundstedt has almost lost his will to resist.

The Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front was approaching Berlin, and the Central Xia Expeditionary Force on the Southern Front was also advancing towards Berlin.

The United Nations forces from three directions were like three sharp blades, inserting bit by bit into the heart of the Third Reich, intending to completely chop it into pieces.

High-level Nazis left Berlin one after another, claiming to be reorganizing their troops in other directions to coordinate the Battle of Berlin.

What actually happened was that they fled Berlin because of fear and fear.

Only Dr. Goebbels and Hitler remained in Berlin.
