After Operation Cannonshot kicked off on April 11, 1945, the primary objective was to build a bridge over the IJssel River, allowing the Canadians to dislodge the Germans in the Veluwe region. The construction of the bridge faced intense German resistance, but also sparked disagreement among the Canadian troops. There was an internal struggle among the Canadians over the naming of the bridge. Would the bridge be named ‘Poco Poco’ or ‘Can of Worms’?
