Alternative Information (from books, personal accounts)

In April 1945, the hospital in Ibbenbüren (historically referenced as the local town hospital or St. Elisabeth Hospital) served as a critical focal point for treating casualties during the intense fighting between British advancing forces (such as the 53rd Welsh Division and the Monmouthshire Regiment) and German defensive positions along the Teutoburg Forest and canal ridges.
