 Although 15th (S) Division achieved all its objectives on 8 February, the roads collapsed into mud and progress was held up on the second day.By the time 43rd (W) was launched, only one congested road was open through the heavily-bombed town of Kleve, and the whole division was strung out, with 130 Bde still in Nijmegen.It was left as a reserve for 53rd (Welsh) Division, and it was not until 15 February that it got through to join in the fighting.
