Operation Undertone was a large assault by the U.S. Seventh and French First Armies as part of the Allied invasion of Germany in March 1945 during the Second World War. Opposing commanders were U.S. General Jacob L. Devers, commanding U.S. 6th Army Group and German SS General Paul Hausser, commanding German Army Group G. Significantly assisted by operations of the U.S. Third Army that overran German lines of communication, Operation Undertone cleared the German defenses and pushed to the Rhine River in the area of Karlsruhe within ten days. General Devers' victory, along with a rapid advance by the U.S. Third Army, completed the advance of Allied armies to the west bank of the Rhine along its entire length within Germany.
