I am looking for the specific location of where this operation took place. I am not looking for a description of the operation. I have seen the references and various descriptions of the operation on numerous sites including our own forum and know that it is called Kapelsche Veer. However I want to pinpoint exactly on google maps where this specific small island with Dyke and little harbour is or was. So not a description of the operationin words just an exact pinpoint on a map. Please provide your source of knowledge of location if posting.

Hi Pete,

Hopefully this will work for you.. Google Maps has a reference but you have to dig around close to the general location so here's the link which takes you there.
