History of Walcheren
Walcheren has been a peninsula since the late 19th century when the Sloedam was built and the railway line from Zuid-Beveland was extended to Vlissingen. During World War II, Walcheren was transformed into a large fortress because the German occupiers expected a major attack on the island. About 200 bunkers were built. The fighting was particularly fierce at the Sloedam, and there were many casualties. A large part of Walcheren was flooded by the Allies in 1944 to weaken the occupier's position. Finally, Walcheren was liberated on November 8, 1944.
