The preparation began with CB fire, then at 11.30 the full 'softening' bombardment began. 44th (L) Brigade's crossing went off successfully and it made good progress on the far bank; 227th (H) Bde had more difficulties, with units landing out of position. 10th HLI landing near
Wolffskath was held up by fire from Bettenhof about 1,000 yards (910 m) inland. The radio with the artillery forward observation officer (FOO) was out of action, but his instructions were passed via an infantry set and brought down a concentration on Bettenhof that allowed the battalion to advance and take the village. Nevertheless, the brigade established itself on the far bank, protected by DF tasks fired by the artillery. The artillery fell silent just before 10.00 on 24 March as the aircraft carrying

The squadron of 15th (S) Reconnaissance Regiment that had been screening the advance was harboured at nearby Nettelkamp. Shortly before midnight firing was heard from the direction of Nettelkamp, but soon died away. In fact the recce squadron there had been overrun, and at 04.00 the two Glasgow Highlanders companies at the eastern corners of Stadensen came under fire. Soon afterwards a battle group of

There was further bitter fighting round Uelzen until 18 April, by which time the town was surrounded and the defenders began to surrender.
