Overview:
The German forces on the Scheldt Estuary blocked the approaches to the strategic port of Antwerp. In a series of hard fought battles, the Breskins pocket and the southern shore of the Scheldt were cleared of German forces. The last bastion of German resistance was the 70th Division stationed on Walcheren Island. The task of clearing Walcheren went to the 4th Special Services Brigade, an elite British commando force. Prior to the assault, the RAF blasted several holes in the dikes surrounding the island, thus flooding German gun positions. On D-Day, the landing forces were roughly handled. The overcast sky prevented the planned air support and many landing craft were sunk or disabled. Tanks bogged down in attempts to cross the dike. The German guns blasted landing craft, tanks and infantry alike.Attacker: British (Elements of the 41st and 48th Commando)
Defender: German (Elements of the 70th Division, Walcheren Island Garrison and elements of the 70th Divisional Artillery)
