Page "Fifteenth United States Army" Paragraph 11

Fifteenth Army never entered the main line of battle.

However, its formations did see some action, when it contained and then reduced the enormous Ruhr Pocket from the west during April 1945 in conjunction with elements of Ninth Army.

This resulted in the capture of 325, 000 German prisoners.

Fifteenth Army would take over occupation duties in the region as Ninth Army and First Army pushed farther into Germany.
