Today, we are heading to the Netherlands, as I am joined by Dutch Historian and Battlefield Guide Joel Stoppels to discover more about Operation Amherst in April 1945. In Season 2 Episode 6 we shall be examining this Allied airborne operation carried out by members of the French SAS Regiments which were dropped behind German lines in the Netherlands during the final stages of the war in Europe. It will also see us touching on the formation of these French SAS units and their experiences during the Second World War, the tactics they employed and how the operation unfolded for these men. We shall also touch on the fierce fighting experienced by the Canadian Army during this time as they advanced in this area of the Netherlands, including around the Dutch city of Groningen.
