Description: 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. 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. @History Hustle 's excellent videos on Dutch Waffen SS units: youtube.com/watch?v=bQlF0ia-ABA&list=PL_bcNuRxKtpH80zEWzRuvOVAc2C0M7C1V Go Fund My Windmills (Patreon): patreon.com/HistorywithHilbert Join in the Banter on Twitter: twitter.com/HistorywHilbert Enter the Fray on Facebook: facebook.com/HistorywHilbert Indulge in some Instagram..?(the alliteration needs to stop): instagram.com/historywithhilbert 0:00 - Intro 3:00 - Walcheren Remains In German Hands 4:14 - The Battle of Walcheren Causeway 6:18 - Operation Infatuate I & II 8:00 - Walcheren Is Captured 8:47 - Dutchmen Serving in the SS 10:18 - The Dutch Resistance In World War 2 13:04 - Outro Send me an email if you'd be interested in doing a collaboration! historywithhilbert@gmail.com #WW2 #Netherlands #Netflix
