Perhaps you mean the fight mentioned at this site: http://www.104infdiv.org/archive.htm

Check especially the Roer river topics.

The failure at Arnhem and the need to open the Scheldt condemned the troops of both 21st Army Group and Army Group B to a miserable winter fighing in the flat and flooded terrain of Holland. In the spring, Allied attention turned to crossing the Rhine in to Germany rather than clearing Holland, but before, in february germans troops destroyed "Arnhem Bridge", and Arnhem was not finally liberated by British troops of First Canadian Army until 14 April 1945.

I´ve been looking for this information and that´s all, sorry.
