In this video I look at the history of the Battle of the Scheldt and in particular the assault on Walcheren, as well as some of the other historical aspects covered by the film such as Dutchmen who served in the Waffen SS on the Eastern Front and the Dutch Resistance (De Ondergrondse) who fought against the German occupiers and aided the Allies in their push into the Netherlands. <\/p>\n<p>@History Hustle&#8217;s excellent videos on Dutch Waffen SS units:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bQlF0ia-ABA&#038;list=PL_bcNuRxKtpH80zEWzRuvOVAc2C0M7C1V\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bQlF0&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Go Fund My Windmills (Patreon):<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTY3UVVNNkJ0by01NXF0aURQNFh0bHBhM3pwQXxBQ3Jtc0tublBaM2NYSUpkUmZFYVpVbnpkUEZVNkZ1S3hPQ0RtYnJuQ1JKM3pXdzdGQzFrWXBRR0xFNjlYMHd1OVhfZ3VRcmhBOFZxZXRCcFVaSTV3TmFCNjQxS3h0eTRSaUlHSnAwTDRmbzNOdHpKSTRwRE5CRQ&#038;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2FHistorywithHilbert\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/HistorywithHi&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join in the Banter on Twitter:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HistorywHilbert\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/HistorywHilbert<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Indulge in some Instagram..?(the alliteration needs to stop):<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbG55eUhFSzRmMm9DU25wVTdybm1WMTlxOF9nd3xBQ3Jtc0tudTZWQlFnNHJSLUg1TFR4eDhlYmtnaGFWdjJ4Q2VYYTA4NUV5SnJTRl9KbzVEUUJFTWVyMS02N0NSVHFLdFlRUDN1dXJGRG10a1hTdmVmSk13ZDZ4RzUtSVI4Yk82emdHbWVBU2xrNjNTY19ETExMcw&#038;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fhistorywithhilbert%2F\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/historywith&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>0:00 &#8211; Intro<br \/>\n3:00 &#8211; Walcheren Remains In German Hands<br \/>\n4:14 &#8211; The Battle of Walcheren Causeway<br \/>\n6:18 &#8211; Operation Infatuate I &#038; II<br \/>\n8:00 &#8211; Walcheren Is Captured<br \/>\n8:47 &#8211; Dutchmen Serving in the SS<br \/>\n10:18 &#8211; The Dutch Resistance In World War 2<br \/>\n13:04 &#8211; Outro<\/p>\n<p>Send me an email if you&#8217;d be interested in doing a collaboration! historywithhilbert@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p>#WW2 #Netherlands #Netflix<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17-29-15-The-Real-History-Behind-The-Forgotten-Battle-Battle-of-Walcheren-1944-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17-29-15-The-Real-History-Behind-The-Forgotten-Battle-Battle-of-Walcheren-1944-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-69962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17-29-15-The-Real-History-Behind-The-Forgotten-Battle-Battle-of-Walcheren-1944-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17-29-15-The-Real-History-Behind-The-Forgotten-Battle-Battle-of-Walcheren-1944-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17-29-15-The-Real-History-Behind-The-Forgotten-Battle-Battle-of-Walcheren-1944-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17-29-15-The-Real-History-Behind-The-Forgotten-Battle-Battle-of-Walcheren-1944-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History With Hilbert Published 10 Nov 2021 The Forgotten Battle is a Dutch\/Belgian Netflix war film set during the Battle of Walcheren in 1944, part of the Liberation of the Netherlands from German control following the successful D-Day landings of the Allies.
