Canadian Trail Brabant
In the autumn of 1944, Canadian forces of the First Canadian Army played a key role in the liberation of North Brabant during the Allied advance through the southern Netherlands. Following the fighting in Zeeland, Canadian troops moved eastward into Brabant, liberating towns and villages after years of occupation. The landscape here shifted from open polders to higher sandy grounds, rivers, and urban centres, presenting new challenges but continued resistance.
