'Seigfried - The Nazis' Last Stand' by Charles Whiting.

On 11 September 1944 four soldiers from the US Fifth Armoured Division crossed the River OUR and entered Hitler's Third Reich.  Above them they found the abandoned Seigfried Line: a 3 mile deep series of fortifications with pillboxes, troop shelters, command posts and antitank obstacles running along Germany's western frontier.  Four years earlier, Bristish troops had boasted that they would hang out their washing on the Seigfries Line, and now it seemed that the Americans would fulfil that vow.  But appearances proved as deceptive in 1944 as they had in 1940.

This masterful history recounts a crucial and compelling campaign in the 20th century epic that was World War 2.
