Descripción del sitio

      On may 10th, 1940, Nazi Germany invaded Holland in a Blitzkrieg attack. Only six days after the attack began, Holland surrendered, they where unable to deal with the intensity of Blitzkrieg. In holland, luckily, there is many series of waterways, and Holland troops managed to delay the severity of the attack slightly by naval crafts amongst the waterways. Unfortunately they where only able to delay it for a short amount of time before being completely overpowered by paratroopers and other forms of blitzkrieg. The airfield at Waalhaven was German's central focus for attacking, once it had been completely conquered by the Germans the Dutch took their attempt at battle. They destroyed many German planes, but not enough. On may 14th, 1940, Nazi Germany began their attacks on Rotterdam, from here on they continued to attack the remainder of the Netherlands, it took them only two days! They received much resistance in few places, but ultimately conquered it all.  This video gives an explanation of the order and severity of the invasion.
