Die Schlacht um die Schelde

You fly a glider into a storm of flak and then a Nazi rifle cracks your wing. A Dutch teen signs up to fight but hides in barns as shells shred his village. Their fates lock on a single beach where the tide of war still turns on a forgotten fight. Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. lets the wind carry the story, not the stars.
