The sinking of Dutch Navy Gunboat . Johan Maurits van Nassau in WW-II in color! []
This is part-2 of my documentary about the Dutch Navy Gunboat . Johan Maurits van Nassau during World War II. This ship played a very important role in the defence of The Netherlands against the German invasion in the early days of WW-II in May 1940. By shelling German positions on the Afsluitdijk, the crew of this ship managed to temporarily halt the German advance towards the populated West of the country.
This film is dedicated to my father who served on this Gunboat from January 1939 until May 1940. The full story in English can be read here: The full story in English can be read here: The text is too long for the 5000 character limit of Youtube in this description section.

The original B&W film footage has been meticulously restored, enhanced and colorized by means of modern artificial intelligence (A.I.) video software and subsequently edited and included with a (Dutch) narrative. This has been one of my biggest projects thus far and most certainly was not free from emotion in the making! Last summer we visited the casemats at Kornwerderzand and filmed the rememberence plaque there in memory of the 17 naval men who perished with the sinking of the . Johan Maurits. You will see it at the end of this film.
The full story about the Maurits van Nassau can be read here in Dutch and English:

Even more information (in Dutch) can be found in the great books by entitled “Zij vochten op de zeven zeeën“. These books were published in 1964 and can only be purchased second hand.
Note: Please note that most of the Dutch Navy ships that appear in this film are the real thing. However, combat scenes and some other footage come from various, sometimes unrelated sources involving Naval operations during WWII, in order to support the narrative.
Music: Experia and Trevor Kowalski.
