The Battle of Antwerp

(May 11th - Oberkommando der Wehrmacht)
(OKW) Following the outbreak of Breskens, the encirclement of the BEF forces in the northern area of operations have continued with a frontal assault on the capitol Antwerp. 6. Armee is on the move to total conquest of Holland while 12. Armee securs France and parts of Belgium, with Brussels on the frontline. During heavy battles today, one soldat managed to pull off an amazing stunt by capturing the Antwerp Airfields bunker sending the british Bomber Command westwards. This was a welcomed break in the fighting for the Capitol as the dense enemy air presence disappeared and Luftwaffe could secure the air space.

After a bloody assult on the Airfield from Schilde, Wehrmacht had to try a different approach to the Airfield and during the time new plans were made, Soldat Airwar managed to make his way to the northern hangers dispite several Vickers guarding the area as well as AI. Right in front of the Royal Airforce taking off and landing and several british infantrymen, Airwar took out an enemy MG tower, rushed the bunker and took it!

The battle of Antwerp raged on for hours with 6. Armee controlling almost 1/4 of the Capitol and holding the forward bases. Luftwaffe had a strong grip on the Royal Airforce and Kriegsmarine managed to position themselves south of Zandvliet, sending barrages of shells on the shores of Antwerp. After dense close-combat fights over the Army bases, Wehrmacht could declare the Capitol of Holland, Antwerp under Axis rule!
