The Battles for Access to Zeeland from Mersem to Woensdrecht (October 2-27, 1944)
Description
The Eerste Dam tells the dramatic story of the more than eight hundred Canadian and German soldiers who lost their lives in the battle for access to Zeeland in October 1944.
The book takes the reader into the personal details of the battle. Events at the front can be followed from hour to hour and from street to street; sometimes insignificant, but usually gruesome and deadly.
The story begins on Monday, October 2 in Merksem, after which the liberators pass the border at Putte and Ossendrecht via Ekeren and Berendrecht. On Saturday afternoon, October 7, the first Canadians arrive in Hoogerheide. The road to Zuid-Beveland is just a stone's throw away.
When a German battle group arrives in Woensdrecht, the battle for the Kreekrakdam really starts... |
