For historical information, Wikipedia has an article on Battle of the Afsluitdijk.

Kornwerderzand is a map set on the Afsluitdijk in the Netherlands. It is fought between the Netherlands and Germany.

Description[]

Both sides have an uncapturable base. There are four control points in this map, and all of them are under Dutch control.

Whichever side holds three or more control points will incur a ticket bleed to the other side.

The Germans have a number of tanks and transport for the assault, supported by a Junkers Ju 88 bomber. The Dutch have a variety of stationary weapons to hold the line, supported by armoured cars.

In Conquest mode, there is a Minensuchboot Typ 40 posing as an old gunboat for the Dutch side, which can be manned but is immobile. It serves as a spawn point and artillery position, and it also provides wooden boats for transport. The gunboat does not make an appearance in Co-op mode.

The path to the fort is very narrow with no cover, making it very exposed to long range gunfire. The attacking Germans must make good use of speed, or else they would easily be pinned down by Dutch machine guns and artillery.
