In the early hours of May 10th, 1940, German forces on the western frontiers were committed to Fall Gelb, the plan to conquer Western Europe.**
German forces simultaneously attacked the Dutch and the Belgian borders. Just before the crossing of the borders, the Germans bombed strategically important sites. Some of these sites were deemed so important, that they had to be attacked and taken before the main attack took place**
One of the sites to be taken before the main force reached them was the Ypenburg Airport between Delft and the residence of the Dutch government, The Hague.**
Ypenburg was defended by a battallion of the Genadiers Regiment, about a thousand men. Besides these men, the airport was defended by heavy machineguns, four platoons of AA-HMG s and two batterys of AA-Guns.**
At about 0400 on May 10th 1940, an aerial bombardment started. Lots of Dutch defenders panicked and fled in these first moments of the war. This attack was followed Fallschirmjaeger landings.**
The remaining defenders put up a heroic fight which lasted until about 0715 when a Fallschirmjaegerplatoon took about 40 fleeing Dutch soldiers prisoner on the road to Delft and marched - using them as a human shield - to the main airport command post. The Grenadier Battallion s commander Reserve Majoor E.C.F. ten Haaf decided at that moment to surrender the airport to the Germans.**
Player s Notes:*
Herr Major, take this Dutch airport within 10 turns to ensure the Dutch won't be able to raise any aerial defense!! Defense should be light, considering the Dutch neutrality; they are in for a BIG surprise!!!**
