The last rites were administered to the Third Reich from the west by a massive concentration of Allied forces and firepower. With France secured, Hitler's vain counterattack in the Ardennes held and the Channel and North Sea ports cleared, little stood in the way of the Allies other than the dominant geographical feature of western Europe: the mighty Rhine River stretching from the North Sea almost to Switzerland. In the north, the 21st Army Group executed one of the largest operations of the war: a huge airdrop backed up by an amphibious crossing that made full use of 79th Armoured Division's specialized armour including the Alligators of 4th Royal Tank Regiment. Further south, until it collapsed under the pressure, the Ludendorff Bridge, captured intact at Remagen allowed US First Army to create a bridgehead. They would use it to good effect, wheeling north to surround the Ruhr, Germany's industrial heartland. Further south, where the river was narrower, Patton's Third Army vaulted the Rhine with its customary elan, as did Devers' Sixth Army Group. Ahead of the Allies were the remains of the German forces, often no more than Volkssturm or Hitlerjugend, determined to resist for as long as possible so that their Fuhrer had time to unleash his super weapons. In the end, these proved figments of Hitler's imagination and the defenders crumbled in the face of units that, after nine months of training, had become deadly proponents of the art of aggressive warfare with modern, new equipment - such as the M26 Pershing and Comet - being rushed to the front in the hope it could see action before the war finished.

As long as longevity isn’t required
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
Love this keyboard, I chose the ProtoArc EM11 NL Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse to go with it. Could not be more pleased with quality and heft of the keyboard specially at the price point. Whisper silent and easy to pair. Excellent choice. ******UPDATED****** Had to come back and downgrade to 1 star. Keyboard quit on me after 3 months. Phantom keystrokes, like I was holding down one letter. It was a slow burn until I couldn’t take it anymore. Thought it was a one off. Replaced the batteries etc. If you just need something for a month or so while waiting or saving for something better, go for it. Totally fits the ‘you get what you pay for’ idiom.

Great Keyboard
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
I bought the keyboard only, because I already had the bluetooth mouse. This is a very good keyboard. I was concerned when ordering that the keys maybe be mushy without having seen a display, but I've not found them to be so at all. The keys do not click loudly like every other keyboard I've ever used, but the keys are every bit responsiveness and snap like others. After using it a couple hours, I don't really notice the lack of clicking . . . and found it actually does have its own distinct muffled sound.

Well Worth the Money
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
I bought this keyboard after my last bluetooth one crapped out. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, and it's not. But it is comfortable, and I like the way the keys feel. Honestly, I even like the way it looks. The only downside is that one of the control buttons near the shift button will erase an entire sentence or two if it is accidently touched. That's annoying, but not enough for me to give it a four star. It's fairly quiet. I actually like the way it sounds. I use it every day, sometimes for a couple of hours. The batteries are going strong. I am glad I didn't go for a more expensive option. It doesn everything I want it to. It's compatible with my tablet and connects right away. I don't even have to reconnect it every time. I just start tapping the keys and it is ready to go fairly quickly. Over all, this is a great value for your money. I highly reccommend it.
