(User Info | Send a Message) | | Realizing that this battle is not within everyone's scope of interest here is one hint: the farmbuildings along the canal are postwar and therefore completely irrelevant. |

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.closecombatseries.net | Hard to focus on the small structures along the canal. However I have it solved I think. The photo was very zoomed in which left few clues. The biggest clues are Pete is Dutch, and there are canals in the photo. Neither helped me. A friend at work gave me a clue, which will remain secret!
This was Holland's Peel-Raam defence line in 1940. Along the canal there are asparagus obstacles and bunkers. This particular photo is in around the Kasteel Aldendriel area.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Very close! You got the location right but not the background story about this particular sector of the Peel-Raam defence line.
The battle at Mill was fought here (http://www.waroverholland.nl/index.php?page=the-battle-at-mill) .http://www.stichtingsporenvandeoorlog.nl/gilaworks/p10pdf/Trein.pdf. The straight line in the center of the image actually used to be a railway track along which a German armored train broke through and which unloaded a battalion of infantry in the rear of the defenses. Upon it's return the train was derailed on the spot where the track crosses the canal and a battle ensued with the train crew and the infantry battalion. Later on Dutch reinforcements joined in the fighting.
The canal was specifically constructed as a defensive canal with casemates of various types strung along with intervals of several hundreds of meters as well as a trenchline.
I actually just returned from a quick visit this morning and found Mooxe's reply! |
