German Paratrooper Last Stand - Operation Elephant 1945

A tiny island on the River Maas in the Netherlands defended by a small force of stubborn German paratroopers proved a thorn in the side for the Allies in the winter of 1944/45. Polish forces were defeated, as were British Royal Marines. In January 1945, the Canadians were ordered to captured the island, resulting in a week-long bloody battle known as 'Operation Elephant'.
