From mid-March 1945 to the end of March 1945, Operation UNDERTONE led the Allies through the Siegfried Line to the Rhine and led to the collapse of the German troops west of the Rhine. For northern Alsace and north-eastern Lorraine, the operation was the second liberation after NORDWIND. The commemorative weekend will be organised with the following events:
