Canadians attack towards the Scheldt
Friday, October 6, 1944 www.onwar.com

On the Western Front... The Canadian 2nd Corps (part of Canadian 1st Army) begins attacking remaining German forces south of the Scheldt, between the Leopold Canal and the southern bank of the river around Breskens. Flooded terrain contributes to a lack of progress.

Over Germany... There are heavy day and night raids on Berlin.

“Our Palau Dead 1,022”

Most from the First Marine Division.

I wonder if Churchill is satisfied that we’re invading Greece and the Balkans now.
