Because of the poor road network on the east bank of this part of the Rhine, a second 9th Army corps was to cross over the promised Wesel bridges through the British zone north of the Lippe River, which had an abundance of good roads.
På grund af det dårlige vejnet på Rhinens højre bred på dette stykke skulle et andet korps fra 9. armé krydse over de lovede broer ved Wesel gennem den britiske zone nord for Lippefloden, hvor der var masser af gode veje.
