UNCLE BEACH. On September 21, 1944, the Battle of the Scheldt begins, consisting of several Allied operations, with the main objective of securing the passage to Antwerp. At the beginning of October, the dykes on Walcheren are bombed to pieces at various points, as a result of which Walcheren is largely under water. On November 1, the final of the Battle of the Scheldt, operation Infatuate, starts. Allied troops make the crossing from Breskens and land at Vlissingen on Uncle Beach, with the intention of retaking Walcheren. The Allies moved into the city along three routes along the boulevard, towards Souburg and right through the city center.

Visiting the memorial and hearing the stories in Netherlands gave me a deeper appreciation of WWII.

Honor, Tribute, Respect

A place full of story, in memory off all, SALUT 🇵🇹

A lovely sea side place now, but in 1944; a place of extreme violence. For our tomorrow, they gave their today.

Really nice and quiet place to visit

Well done outdoor museum about WW2 Allied operation

They lost there lives, for our freedom.

Still feel the impact of WW II in this place.

A place for contemplation.
