De slag om de Schelde (2020)

1944, Holland https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10521092/. The lives of several unrelated people converge on a battlefield near Antwerp where Canadians are trying to dislodge a determined German force. Very very good for a TV production. Ernest effort with great acting and excellent CGI.
 
Nice enough movie, yet the story/plot is wafer thin, with hardly any connection / referring to the real battle of the Schelde estuary.
Some of the main characters are actually British airborne's that got shot down on their way to do their bit in Op. Market Garden.
Giving not a single mention to the amphibious assault on Walcheren Island, for me has this movie missing the point of its title (and fail to give credit to the men that took part in the actual battle .... , but I'm Dutch, might be biased)
