52 Days in a Flooded Hell — The Battle Only the Canadians Could Win

November 1944: The Battle of the Scheldt became a frozen hell for the First Canadian Army. In this documentary, we uncover the brutal truth of the campaign to open the port of Antwerp, a mission considered impossible. 📺 In this video, we cover: The Germans had a ruthless plan: flood the Netherlands to create an impenetrable killing ground. They blew the dikes, turning the battlefield into a frozen swamp. The First Canadian Army was tasked with the unthinkable—clear the Scheldt Estuary. Key Themes & Battles: The Mission: Why opening the port of Antwerp was critical for the Allied victory. The Conditions: Fighting through chest-deep freezing water, mud, and flooded lands. The Enemy: Taking German bunkers one by one in a defensive stronghold. The Cost: Over 6,300 Canadian casualties and thousands of cases of trench foot. Without the Scheldt cleared, the Allied advance into Germany would have stalled. The Canadians made victory possible by walking into hell and refusing to stop. This is a story of duty, endurance, and the human capacity to survive the unsurvivable. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more untold Canadian military history:    / @canadianfrontarchives   📜 MUSIC CREDITS Music: “Crusade” by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
