The battle for the Delfzijl-Pocket
After the liberation of the city of Groningen on April 16, 1945, few expected that it would take more than two more weeks before the entire province was liberated. In what the Canadians called the Delfzijl Pocket, thousands of German soldiers held out in strongly fortified positions around Delfzijl, Nansum, Fiemel, and Termunten.
