Geallieerde troepen in Nederland. British troops advance in Holland. British troops inch their way across open country in Holland as strong Allied forces were clearing the approaches to Antwerp, Belgium's largest port and one of the greatest in Europe. Germans, bending every effort to keep the Allies from using Antwerp and thus opening up a shorter supply line to the Western Front, lost an estimated 45,000 men in defending the estuary between the city and the sea.
