Re: Roer R. [Ruhr?]
The correct river name is Rur, not Ruhr. Rur is a small river east of Aachen in a mountainous area, and west of the river Rhine.
Operation Grenade
Yes, not Ruhr. Likely with reference to Operation Grenade and the crossing of the Roer/Rur (Dutch/German) River on 23 February 1945. Wikipedia gives a mention here
