In the game

A map of the British raid on Zeebrugge on 23 April 1918, fought on the long German-held mole with HMS Vindictive alongside.

The real place

On St George's Day 1918 the Royal Navy and Royal Marines stormed the mole and sank blockships to close the U-boat canal to Bruges.

Visiting

Look for the St George's Day memorial in Zeebrugge; the coast tram links it to Bruges and Ostend.
