With taking of the city of Antwerp, the Allies finally had large port from which to supply their forces. In his eagerness to take the city, field marshal Montgomery had neglected to clear the Scheldt estuary of german forces. On the northern and southern banks of the river, the Germans had established themselves behind heavily fortified positions. As a prelude to the clearing of this fortresses, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division, backed by armour of the &st Polish Armoured Division was tasked with severing the supply line to the German forces on Walcheren. To execute this they had to take the towns of Woensdrecht and Hoogerheide. In front of 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade were units of Kampfgruppe "Chill" a division sized unit composed of no less than three divisions.
