The Battle of the Scheldt

Battle of the Scheldt" is a Dutch film set during the Second World War. The film focuses on the 'Battle of the Scheldt', which took place in Zeeland and West Brabant in the autumn of 1944 and in which more than 10,000 people lost their lives. This battle took place after the Allies had captured the beaches of Normandy and begun their advance through Western Europe.

The Battle of the Scheldt was crucial because the port of Antwerp was an important logistical hub for the allied troops. The Allies had to liberate the Scheldt River and the surrounding areas in order to use the port and thus provide their troops with supplies.

This battle is decisive for the course of the Second World War and is known as one of the most important and fiercest battles in Western Europe.
