Operation Infatuate was the code name given to an Anglo-Canadian operation in November 1944 during the Second World War to open the port of Antwerp to shipping and relieve logistical constraints. The operation was part of the wider Battle of the Scheldt and involved two assault landings from the sea by the 4th Special Service Brigade and the 52nd (Lowland) Division. At the same time the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division would force a crossing of the Walcheren Causeway.

  • Operacja Infatuate – aliancka operacja wojskowa przeprowadzona w dniach 1-8 listopada 1944 roku, mająca na celu zdobycie holenderskiej wyspy Walcheren, która stanowiła ostatni niemiecki bastion blokujący ujście Skaldy. W jej rezultacie wojska brytyjsko-kanadyjskie opanowały wyspę, co zakończyło tzw. bitwę o Skaldę i umożliwiło uruchomienie strategicznie ważnego portu w Antwerpii. Była ostatnią dużą operacją desantową w Europie podczas II wojny światowej. (pl)

  • De Strijd om Walcheren of Operatie Infatuate werd gestreden tegen het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog, in 1944. Doel was niet zozeer de ontzetting van het schiereiland, maar eerder het openen van de Antwerpse haven voor geallieerde schepen, de zogenaamde Slag om de Schelde. (nl)
