Delete Is not the "general name" of the campaign; the US Army officially calls it "Central Europe" (cf. List of United States Army campaigns during World War II), and our article that covers it is Western Allied invasion of Germany. Nothing of value here.

Delete - While expansion of the role of the 6th Army and battles it fought are possible, this title is OR and seems to incorrectly (in my opinion) treat it as a separate, complimentary campaign to the 12th's. I don't think a redirect to Western Allied invasion of Germany would be any good because the title, "South German Offensive", need not refer to an allied effort during WWII (for instance, it could just as easily refer to Napoleon's southwestern campaign covered at Army of the Danube).

REdirect -- the term is a credible search term, but this article is little more than a dictionary definition. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:17, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
