The 70. Infanterie-Division was largely made up of soldiers with stomach problems who required a special diet, hence the nickname "White Bread Division", around a cadre from 165. Reserve Division.
It was stationed on Walcheren Island, the Netherlands, and was attacked by the 1st Canadian Army in November 1944. The soldiers of the division fought surprisingly well in the Battle of the Scheldt but after nine days of fighting they were forced to surrender.
