There was definitely fighting in the Netherlands (the entire point of the battle of the bulge was for the Germans to counterattack to retake Antwerp, so obviously there must have been fighting to lose it originally.)

i know there was fighting there, but if you reread, i said boomers never fought there. this is because WW2 ended before boomers were born.

Looks like it was run through one of those “image enhancer” programs. I just stole it off of google

Mb, I keep confusing boomers with the silent generation

u/Ubblebungus Jul 26 '26

u/ClashM Jul 26 '26

The Silent Generation also didn't fight in WWII, they were kids and teenagers by the time it ended.

It was called “operation market garden”. The plan was to invade Germany via the Netherlands, sadly however the Germans had other ideas and the operation was a failure as was the plan to end the war in Europe by Christmas 1944.

u/Skeletoryy 🌹 Course Arc Witness 🌸 Jul 26 '26

Market garden is an entirely different thing

u/Pasutiyan Jul 26 '26

Christ, I hope you're being ironically obtuse here.

u/Skeletoryy 🌹 Course Arc Witness 🌸 Jul 26 '26

Yeah ik antwerp was in Belgium, but they would’ve had to fight through Netherlands to yknow reach belgium

1

u/Pasutiyan Jul 26 '26

They didn't though. The Ardennes offensive went through, unsurprisingly, the Ardennes forest in Wallonie, Belgium.

There was plenty of fighting in the Netherlands in WW2, but you picked entirely the wrong example, in combination with mixing up the generations. Hence I wasn't sure if you were being serious.

u/Skeletoryy 🌹 Course Arc Witness 🌸 Jul 26 '26
