The South German Offensive is the general name of one of the final offensives of World War II in Europe.
 The offensive was led by the Seventh and Third armies of the United States along with the First Army of France.
 Soviet troops linked up with American forces in Czechoslovakia notably in the Battle of Slivice.
 The offensive was made by the US 6th Army Group to protect the US 12th Army Group's right flank and to prevent a German last stand in the Alps.
 However German resistance was much more fierce than in the north, which slowed the 6th Army Group's progress.
 However, by the end of April, many German divisions surrendered without a fight to the advancing American forces to avoid the inevitable destruction.
 The VI Corps of the Seventh Army linked up with the US Fifth Army, which fought through Italy, in the Alps as the Third Army advanced into Austria and Czechoslovakia, where it linked up with Soviet forces advancing from the east.
 Fighting continued a few days after the Surrender of Germany on 8 May, due to German forces fighting west to surrender to the Americans instead of the Soviets.

Operation Quicksilver was a Second World War military deception.
 Undertaken by the Allies in 1944, the operation threatened an invasion of France in the Pas de Calais region through the simulation of a large Field Army in South East England.
 Quicksilver formed part of the Operation Fortitude deception, itself part of the strategic Operation Bodyguard plan.
 The key element of Quicksilver was the creation in German minds that "First United States Army Group" (FUSAG) commanded by General George Patton supposedly would land in the Pas-de-Calais for the major invasion of Europe, after the landings in Normandy had lured the German defenders to that front.
 (FUSAG was a genuine army group headquarters which later became Omar Bradley's 12th Army Group, but was given a fictitious role and many non-existent divisions for purposes of deception.)
The Sixth United States Army Group was an Allied Army Group that fought in the European Theater of Operations during World War II.
