Movie "The Forgotten Battle" (Slag om de Schelde)

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Thanks for the photos, Jordan.

I think it is a very good movie. The objective was to make a war movie about three young people and how they experienced the war. The Battle of the Scheldt is the context for the three story lines. Don’t expect a Bridge Too Far like movie portraying a historic battle.

I was particularly pleased to see my son as an extra in this movie. There are a couple of scenes where he can be seen. The one with the CO entering a hangar for the briefing shows him in a frontal view - the pilot with the white sweater sitting on the left when the CO enters and the shot pans to the right.
