Cold wet dread and distress
In the battle for a bridgehead on the corner of the drainage canal and the Noordervaart, Allied shells were fired at the German positions on November 16 and 17, 1944. Weakened despite rain, cold and sleeplessness, German resistance is fierce. To make matters worse, German troops then accidentally shell each other due to miscommunication.
