The Forgotten Battle. New movie about the Scheldt Estuary

[Sir Slash]

Yeah, I agree it was pretty in places but nothing to get excited about.

Here's a decent Dutch documentary that gives a general overview of the battle.

I really enjoyed it.

Yes it is a good one.  O0

For my part I feel frustrated that the British and Americans did not give the Canadians (and the Poles for that matter) their due for their courage and hard sacrifice in liberating western Holland. That the victory over Antwerp and the Scheldt was celebrated by the British and American top brass, but they did not invite any Canadian representatives when the Canadians had done the lions share of the fighting. This was utterly insulting, as the Canadians largely won this victory and also shed a considerable amount of their blood to liberate the west Netherlands. :-[ >:(

I hope Michael Dorosh will some day get around to doing a Combat Mission campaign given his great knowledge about the Canadian forces of WW2. It would be a great tribute.

I didn't think it was plodding, slow or poorly acted at all. I wasn't bored once and enjoyed it the whole way through. I thought the battle scenes were well done and engaging and I was interested in the movie in general, as I didn't know much about the real events.

Somebody years back, it might've been Michael, made a scenario for the bridge-crossing in the movie for the original CMBO. I remember because I got my arse handed to me royally.      Though, I did enjoy it.
