YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Battle of the Grebbeberg was a battle during the German invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940. It is a fairly unknown WW2 battle. In Dutch: Slag om de Grebbeberg. The Grebbeberg was the weak point at the Grebbe Line. The Dutch army of 1940 wasn't modernized at all. On the 10th of May 1940 the German invasion of the Netherlands started. Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands via land and via air. Within one day they crushed through the IJssel Line and then made their way to the main Dutch line of defence: the Grebbe Line. The area in front of the Grebbe Line was flooded. The only place that wasn't was the Grebbeberg. Meanwhile German troops landed in the Dutch hinterland.
