Please enjoy this Clip of the Kornwerderzand fortification in The Netherlands. It's a Museum now.
In Mai 1940 only 225 brave Dutch soldiers , stopped an army of 17000 Germans here.
Only after the bombing of Rotterdam ,unfortunately The dutch had to surrender. It was the last Location in Western Europe to withstand the German Invasion.
During the German invasion of the Netherlands in World War II, the Kornwerderzand position was defended by Dutch troops. On May 13 and May 14, 1940, the fortifications were attacked by the German first Cavalry Division, while the Luftwaffe attacked supporting Dutch naval units. The German troops, initially lacking support by heavy artillery, were unable to take the position. The fortifications also withstood attacks by dive bombers. The next day the Dutch military in the Netherlands (except for the province of Zealand) surrendered, and the battle ended with the surrender of the Position.
