History Happy Hour Episode 135 – Canada’s WWII Battle for the Scheldt Estuary

This week on History Happy Hour: Canada’s bloodiest battle of World War II. In September 1944, the Allies liberated Antwerp, Europe's largest port. But Antwerp would be of little use unless the 60-mile long Scheldt Estuary Scheldt Estuary linking it to the North Sea was also captured. In his greatest blunder of the war, Field Marshal Montgomery turned his back on the port, leaving the First Canadian Army to fight its way up the long coastal flank. They faced a grueling seven-week battle against a tenacious enemy determined to make them pay for every foot. Chris and Rick welcome Our guest is Mark Zuehlke, author of "Terrible Victory: First Canadian Army and the Scheldt Estuary Campaign: September 13 - November 6, 1944." Drama, blunders, and extraordinary heroics: The oft-overlooked campaign for the Scheldt Estuary. Sunday at 4PM ET on History Happy Hour, where history is always on tap.
