This is another impressive blockbuster but the title of the article and the hook need work, please. The pictures suggest an ALT. Something like "...that Anglo-Canadian logistics for the invasion of Germany used buffaloes, ducks and weasels?"

I would have liked to mention Operation Veritable in the proposed hook but had problems getting it in under the 200 character limit. Operation Lumberjack was the US Twelfth Army Group's advance to the Rhine in February 1945. It was a preliminary to Grenade, as it was necessary to first secure the Roer dams. As noted in the article, Grenade was the US Ninth Army part of the Pincer operation. I regret that the articles on the battles of 1945 are in poor shape.I hope to improve them over time but the would be a major project.
The US had its own logistics organisation, known as the Communications Zone; its role in the 1945 campaigns will be covered in an upcoming article, "American Logistics in the Western Allied Invasion of Germany". While the 21st Army Group was primarily a British and Canadian force, with a division from from Poland, brigades from Czechoslovakia, Belgium and the Netherlands, and some smaller contingents from other countries like Australia, the logistical system was British and came under the 21st Army Group. Stacey explains (p. 624):
As early as the beginning of 1943, it was evident that any concept of a completely self-contained Canadian Army, with its own supply-line stretching from the manufacturer in Canada to the troops in the field, would have to be abandoned. For one thing, a separate Canadian base organization, which would have been necessary under such a system, would have been too costly in. terms of manpower. In addition, the exigencies of battle might make it necessary at any time for Canadian divisions to be placed under the command of a British corps or for British divisions to be placed under the command of a Canadian corps, and under any such arrangement dual lines of supply would have been a vexatious complication. Thus, throughout the campaign in North-West Europe, there was virtually no separate Canadian supply organization other than what existed within First Canadian Army itself. The great majority of Canadian requirements, including ordnance stores, ammunition, petroleum products, most engineer, medical and dental stores, rations, office machinery and other supplies, were provided through British channels. Canadian units indented for warlike stores direct to their division's Ordnance Field Park, which carried stocks of spare parts for mechanical transport, small arms, armament, signal stores, and engineering equipment, as well as complete wireless sets and small arms. Bulk demands for artillery equipment, clothing and general stores were sent periodically by the formation's R.C.O.C. staff to a British Advanced Ordnance Depot.
I might add this to the article. I have added your suggested hook as ALT1. Reviewer would have to AGF as sources are offline. The original hook was chosen because its source was viewable online. "Dumping" is the correct by the way; the ammunition was already stockpiled in the maintenance area.
The result of the move request was: Moved. This is uncontroversial, there's no objection, and it should take place immediately rather than waiting till tomorrow, as pages linked from the main page should conform to the MOS. Page views can be ascertained by adding together the two titles anyway. — Amakuru ( talk) 11:44, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Template:Main says, This template should also not be used in lead sections. A lead section is always a summary of its own article, not any other; as such, the only appropriate target for a {{Main}} link in the lead section would be the article itself, which is not useful.
