    in the first part of April 1945 Essen is part of the Ruhr , the industrial area of west Germany . Around end mars the Ruhr area was completely surrounded and in 13 April the smaller part of the pocket was taken and on the 21 of April the second part of the pocket was dissolved

    Look around for the battle of the Ruhr pocket and you will find something.
