 General of Infantry Ernst August Marx von Bachmeister, commanding the German 79th Reserve Division, reported in late March that he believed the Canadian Corps was moving into an echelon formation and were preparing for a big attack.The Germans quickly planned Operation Munich ("Unternehmen München"), a spoiling attack to capture the northern section of the Zouave Valley, along the northernmost portion of the Canadian front.Munich was not undertaken because the extent of Canadian Corps artillery fire made it impracticable.
