Battle of Geel
The Battle of Geel, also known as the Battle of the Geel Bridgehead, was a major battle between British and German troops in Belgium during the Second World War. It occurred between 8–23 September 1944, in and around the Flemish town of Geel (Gheel), and was one of the largest and bloodiest battles to occur during the Liberation of Belgium.
==Battle==
The first phase of the fighting took place at the Albert Canal, south of Geel, on 7 September. On the German side of the Canal was ''Kampfgruppe Dreyer'' of the 85th Infantry Division on its way to be reinforced with two Luftwaffe Regiments.
On 8 September, the 50th (Northumbrian) Division attacked across the canal. The 69th Brigade crossed over and later that evening the 151st Brigade had established a bridgehead. The Germans counterattacked repeatedly but by morning on the 9th the two bridgeheads were connected which allowed armoured cars to cross over. By evening on the 9th, a Bailey bridge allowed the Sherman tanks of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry to cross also.
