Crerar's Fury After Eisenhower Sidelined Canadians —Buffalo Amphibs Crushed 75,000 in Scheldt Waters

November 1944. Supreme Commander Eisenhower made a catastrophic mistake—he dismissed the First Canadian Army as second-rate troops, sidelining them from the glory push into Germany. Instead, General Harry Crerar's men got the "cleanup job": the Scheldt Estuary, a flooded hellscape where 75,000 German soldiers waited behind concrete bunkers and killing zones . The Germans laughed. The flooded polders made tanks useless. The fortified islands were considered impregnable. This was supposed to be a months-long bloodbath that would break the Canadians . But Eisenhower didn't account for one thing: Crerar's burning fury. What happened next became one of WWII's most brutal and overlooked operations. Canadian troops climbed into Buffalo amphibious vehicles—tracked boxes that could swim—and launched devastating assaults across open water that the Germans believed was their protection. They attacked where defense was supposed to be impossible . The result? 75,000 German casualties. An entire enemy army shattered in weeks, not months. The port of Antwerp opened, changing the course of the war. All accomplished by troops the Allies had dismissed . This is the untold story of how insult became unstoppable determination. How amphibious vehicles became instruments of revenge. How Canadian soldiers proved that being sidelined doesn't mean being second-rate. Discover the forgotten battle where fury crushed 75,000 in the freezing waters of the Scheldt. 🔔 Subscribe for more untold WWII stories **#WWII #WorldWarTwo #CanadianArmy #Scheldt #MilitaryHistory #BuffaloVehicles #GeneralCrerar #Eisenhower #AmphibiousWarfare #ForgottenBattles #1944 #WarStories #HistoryDocumentary #WWIIHistory #AlldForces
