Beveland canal bridges
This map gives an overview of the Allied advance going West into Zuid-Beveland and onto the Sloedam into Walcheren. According to this map the Beveland canal - shown as the big red vertical line - was crossed on 27 October 1944.
Z-Beveland-1944.jpg The Vlakebrug bridge crossing the Beveland Canal was destroyed by Allied bombardements and further German demolitions (ref.). Therfore the RCE first built a pontoon bridge and then a bailey bridge for the heavy AFVs. Not many photos of the temporary bridges are available, but here are two: Zd-Beveland_Pontonbrug.jpg nB5M3Ts.jpg Source: https://www.oorlogzeeland.nl/index.p...eslag-beveland and https://www.twenot-forums.nl/threads...nd-1944.34757/
