text:
The Battle of Groningen took place during the penultimate month of World War II in Europe, on 13 to 16 April 1945, in the city of Groningen. The 2nd Canadian Division attacked Groningen, defended by 7,000 German soldiers and Dutch and Belgian SS troops. There were also many Luftwaffe troops manning flak guns in the area. Groningen also held the headquarters for the Sicherheitsdienst in the northern Netherlands. The German command structure was poor and the defenders had never exercised together.
