Battle Field Tours
The area you are visiting was once the scene of a ferocious battle. This episode of WWII is now known as 'The Battle of the Scheldt'. In September 1944, a United Nations force under Canadian Command, took up a battle against a determined enemy, that wanted to prevent the use of the harbour of Antwerp at all cost.

Learn about victory, bravery, misery and tragedy. Hear about the generals and the common city and farmer boy soldiers. Many found a lasting resting place at the local Bergen op Zoom War Cemetery. There is a good chance members of your family were involved in this epic fight.

This is an opportunity to learn the story they never dared to tell you. English/German/Dutch spoken personalised guided tours are offered to visit the actual sites where it happened.

Discover the features of the old battle field and the remains of trenches and pill boxes.
Tours are additionally supported using period film footage, radio broad castings and military objects.
