Liberation route Baarland and Goes
Goes, Baarland, Nieuwdorp
Allied troops had captured a reasonably undamaged port of Antwerp, which was of great importance for supplying troops, but the Scheldt was still in German hands. On 26 October 1944, Scottish soldiers reached ‘Amber Beach’, the beach south of Baarland. Borssele was heavily bombed on 12 October 1944, but was liberated on 30 October partly thanks to the advance of the Scots from Baarland. Two days later, the Canadians attempted an attack on the Sloedam in Lewedorp. They managed to establish a bridgehead, but firm German resistance forced them back. Canadian soldier Jean-Maurice Dicaire was badly wounded in the fighting between the Canadian and German troops. He died of his wounds and was given a place of honour in the Kloetinge cemetery. Despite the heavy fighting, the Allies managed to liberate Zeeland. During this route you will also pass Listening Stones of the Liberation Route Europe, which tell you even more.
