Summary
[edit]DescriptionDestroyed Walcheren seawall at Westkapelle 1944.jpg | Aerial photograph taken shortly after the daylight attack on the sea-wall at Westkapelle, Walcheren (the Netherlands), showing a breach in the wall at the most westerly tip of the island. The Allies decided that the dykes had to be breached before the Allied assault in order to flood the inland areas and restrict movement by the German defenders. On 3 October 1944, 252 Avro Lancasters and seven De Havilland Mosquitoes of the RAF Bomber Command attacked the sea wall and dykes at Westkapelle, Flushing and Veere. | |||||
