The Netherlands - 10th May 1940: While much of the attention of the German assault on the Western Front was focused on the fighting in Belgium, including the first use of airborne troops at the Forts of Eben Emael. However, little known, but significant German airborne operations were mounted to assault "Fortress Holland". This task fell to the German 18th Army and the air forces of the Luftwaffe. A large bomber force struck Rotterdam on the 14th of May, after which, the Netherlands surrendered and the Dutch Royal Family evacuated to England. Will this be a Dutch side show or can the Dutch hold out long enough to affect the battles raging in Belgium and win the Dutch a pyrrhic victory?
