(2) Westkapelle Inland

Walcheren Island in the Netherlands was a location of considerable importance during Operation Market Garden. This coastal fortress around Middelburg was saturated by bombardments of the RAF, but when Allied landings occurred, many of the Wehrmacht defences were still in place. Partially inland, Westkapelle's forests and roadways became the staging ground for hundreds of Allied soldiers and, providing they survived, would be the start of a long march inland. Far to the East, the British Black Watch and Canadian 4th Brigade were making their move, to meet these soldiers and secure the wedge between Axis forces.
