Fortress Reusel 1944
The Battle of Reusel - A mini Stalingrad
Welcome to my website
This website is about the military movements of both the British and the German army during September and October 1944. I have tried to gather as much detailed information from various sources. This was compiled in chronological order to capture a picture as complete as possible of the battle in and around Reusel.
I start my story in Belgium, to be more specific up near the Albert Canal. As the story progresses you can see developments into perspective and understand the decisions taken at that time.
Let's keep history alive....
About me
"Since childhood, I have been interested in the history of my village, and in the history of surrounding villages. Especially in the Second World War and the role of the British army in it. I was fascinated by the tremendous power and resilience they showed in overcoming the enemy".
"This fascination made me start collecting militaria and military scale models. Over the years I have also gathered a substantial collection of books and articles about WW-I, WW-II, Cold War and Modern Conflict".
Frank-Peter van de Goor
"The 75th. anniversary of the liberation of Reusel, inspired me to build a website about "The Battle of Reusel".
Meanwhile, I see it somewhat as my mission to keep history alive, so that the sacrifice of those who fought for our liberation is not forgotten".
