De slag om de Schelde (2020)
battle of the sloedam
5 July 2021 - 17 out of 25 users found this review helpful.
Although it's a great movie to watch, and looks very good for a dutch production, i think they used a wrong title for it. The battle of the Scheldt is so much more than 'just' the battle at the causeway (Sloedam). It's such a shame they don't even mention the fierce fighting in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, the bombing of the dikes and flooding of Walcheren whitch caused a great loss of civilian lives and no mention what so ever of the amfibious landings at Flushing and Westkapelle whitch some of the veterans described to be tougher than the landings at Normandy. All in all a great movie, especialy by dutch standards, just missing a lot of what the title suggests it's abbout.
