Overview

Your guide takes you on a road trip to Zeeland, a part of The Netherlands consisting of islands and peninsula's.

Zeeland saw heavy fighting in 1944. Zeeland Flanders, South-Beveland and Walcheren had to be taken by the Allies to be able to use the Port of Antwerp. It took a lot of ingenuity and hard fighting to overcome the strong German defenses here. We also pay a visit to the new Liberation Museum Zeeland. Besides some interesting military historic sites you will see a lot of the typical Zeeland countryside.

Hardly recovered from the World War 2 damage and loss of life Zeeland was hit again in February 1953 by a big flood. We will return over some of the Delta Works. After this tour you will understand the motto of the Zeelanders: Luctor at Emergo, I struggle and emerge.

11-12 hours tour duration is travel time included.

At the end of the Sloe Causeway we visit the monument to the 5 Canadian attacks that were necessary to gain access to Walcheren Island and to support the landings of the British at Vlissingen and Westkapelle.The Germans had turned Walcheren into a fortress that controlled the Scheldt. Walcheren had to be taken to gain access to the harbor of Antwerp. The last attack was successful also due to Operation Mallard: the crossing of the Sloe wetlands with canvas boats and walking through te mud. On our way to the Liberation Museum Zeeland your guide will indicate where Operation Mallard started.

Vlissingen

The windmill at Vlissingen guided in the Landing Craft Assault (LCA) of 4th Commando and units of the 52nd Lowland Division landing here at Uncle Beach. This Operation was called Infatuate I. After the initial surprise the German put up a sturdy defense that took days to break. At the landing spot there is a monument. Next to the Windmill we see a German bunker that defended the beach. Beyond the Wind mill is a glass house for a German Biber midget submarine. Enjoy the view on the ships sailing by and the town of Breskens on the Southern bank of the Scheldt that was the start point of the landings

The first group sailed through the gap that resulted from the bombing of the dyke. After the war the dyke was closed using Phoenix caissons that were used in Normandy. A Sherman tank is the centre of the monument of the landings.The polderhouse museum is an alternate visit on days that the Liberation Museum Zeeland is closed.
