(May 5th - Oberkommando der Wehrmacht)
(OKW) The Battle for Holland continues. Wehrmacht have clashed with enemy forces in over the Zeelands and area around Antwerp, and noone wants to give in. The french forces hold Breskens but focus on holding the south against the advancing 12. Armee, and the British Expeditionary Forces tried an outbreak around Roosendal creating a pocket from Steenbergen to Kats. 6. Armee supported by Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe have kept strongpoints around the Zeelands and gained the valuable Airfield of Vlissingen to gain the advantage in the skies which is required to continue the push towards Antwerp. Today french and british forces tried to retake the Airfield with the Royal Navy and Airforce but despite deploying a detatchment of SAS paratroopers over the town and sending in waves of regular infantry they failed, suffering huge casualities.
