About this listen

Uncover the overlooked battle that turned the tide of World War II.

In the shadow of D-Day and Operation Market Garden lies one of the most critical—and underappreciated—campaigns of the Second World War: the Battle of the Scheldt. In this gripping and meticulously researched account, military historian Terry Sloan brings to life the fierce struggle to secure the Scheldt Estuary, a strategic gateway to the port of Antwerp—and ultimately, Allied victory in Europe.

From flooded polders and deadly dikes to relentless infantry assaults and tactical innovation, The Scheldt Offensive examines the operation from multiple angles:

  • Strategic decisions that reshaped the Allied advance

  • Canadian, British, and Polish roles in the brutal terrain of the Netherlands

  • German defenses and missteps that led to their eventual retreat

  • Firsthand accounts and battlefield reports that illuminate the human cost of victory

Whether you're a military history enthusiast, a student of World War II, or simply intrigued by the untold stories that shaped our world, this book offers a compelling deep dive into one of the war’s most decisive operations.

Prepare to discover the battle that history nearly forgot—but the war could not have been won without.
