Kevin Peltz Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 Can anybody direct me to some good references of the fighting by 1st Canadian Army/2nd Canadian Corps, to clear the Scheldt Estuary, between late September to mid November, 1944? I am not having a lot of luck in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KwazyDog Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 Here are two sites on Canadian armour that *might* be worth trying Kevin, though they are only a maybe : http://www3.sympatico.ca/chrjohnson/index.htm http://www.magma.ca/~tracks/ Also, on sorta the same topic, if anyone out there has info and especially maps of Major Curries fight for St Lamber they would be muchly appreciated [This message has been edited by KwazyDog (edited 04-18-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Lucke Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 Well, I dunno if this is what yr looking for, but here it is: There's a 2hr video documentary on the subject called "Against All Odds" produced / written / narrated by a man (forgot his name) who served in the action as a Captain. It was put out by the War Amputees of Canada, so any money goes to a good charity. http://www.waramps.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Peltz Posted April 18, 2000 Author Share Posted April 18, 2000 KwazyDog/von Lucke: Thanks for the info-will have a look. It's shameful to go to my public library and find virtually nothing on Canada's role in WWII. There has not been a terrible amount on the net either, at least where I looked, anyway. Hoping to gather enough information to create a few scenarios for CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabot Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 I found this site a ways back: http://www.valourandhorror.com/DB/CHRON/home.htm Sorry Kevin, i don't think it covers the Scheldt battles. Nevertheless, it might be useful on your scenario project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Peltz Posted April 18, 2000 Author Share Posted April 18, 2000 Black Sabot: Thanks for the info- I have bookmarked all the sites that yourself, von Lucke, and KwazyDog posted, and have found useful info in all of them. I have in fact ordered the tape mentioned by von Lucke, as it sounds like it should have at least some of what I need. Between the fighting around Caen, Trun and the Falaise Gap, the liberation of the Channel ports, and the battles at Walcheren, Breskins, and Breda in Holland, there is a wealth of material for some good scenarios.(Not to mention some important history to be learned as well.)
