"The Forgotten Battle" on Netflix is one of the best war movies I have seen for a long, long time.The Battle of the Scheldt was one of the longest and fiercest battles fought during WWII on Dutch soil. It involved a series of military operations that took place in northern Belgium and the province of Zeeland during the fall of 1944.
The battle is considered by some historians to have been waged on the most difficult battlefield of the Second World War.
The province of Zeeland is located in the southwest of the Netherlands. It consists of several islands and peninsulas and two main seaports, Terneuzen and Vlissingen. Zeeland’s capital is Middelburg, which is in the middle of the island of Walcheren.
The island lies on the North Sea, between the Eastern Scheldt in the north and the Western Scheldt in the south. Since Roman times, the island was a point of departure for ships going to and from Britain.
