Paraphrased from text in the product:

The bridge across the Albert Canal at Vroenhoven was slated to be one of the two main crossing points for the attacking German 6th Army under General von Reichenau. It was imperative that the bridge be captured in order to facilitate a swift advance into Belgium. The region is represented by the included historical map is the hilly village terrain located on the Albert Canal between Maastricht and Tongress. Securing the battlefield on May 10, 1940, at the outset of Fall Gelb, was the responsibility of the 7th Fallshirmjager Division and Kampfgruppe Beton.
