What Canadian Soldiers Did When A German Major Refused To Surrender

Описание: In October 1944, the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division faced a nightmare scenario at the Leopold Canal. Tasked with clearing the Scheldt Estuary to open the vital port of Antwerp, they encountered the German 64th Infantry Division—a unit ordered by Hitler to hold "to the last man."
When a German Major in a concrete bunker complex refused a final offer of surrender, the Canadians didn't retreat. Instead, they unleashed a terrifying new weapon: the "Wasp" Flamethrower.
This documentary reveals the gritty, forgotten reality of the Battle of the Scheldt. Known as "Rat Warfare," this operation required the Canadians to fight in waist-deep freezing water, battling flooded polders, hidden mines, and fanatical resistance. Discover how the "Cinderella Army" broke the German defenses and secured the supply lines that would ultimately win the war in Europe.
