Part of the "Canadian Experience" television series. "The Liberation of Holland" was directed by Alan Mendelsohn and produced and co-written by wayne Chong.
This is the best documentary on the battle of the Scheldt estuary and the suffering of the Dutch people under German occupation that I have seen so far.
One historian interviewee searches for a word to describe the day to day courage of the Canadian troops slogging through the mud under fire for months on end. He finally settles on "endurance", but the word that came to my mind was "fortitude".
This was happening during the disastrous operation "Market Garden" and then while American troops were bogged down in the Hurtgen and Ardennes forests.
To this day Holland and Canada have a special bond due to the sacrifice of these Canadian soldiers. A truly superb documentary.
