The Antwerp Antitankgracht, also known as the Antitank Canal, is an artificial waterway that forms a large quarter circle (from north to east) around the city of Antwerp. The moat has a length of about 33 km and is at least 6 meters wide. It connects the Scheldt near Berendrecht with the Albert Canal in Oelegem. The canal was constructed between 1937 and 1939 with the aim of stopping enemy German tanks and other rolling stock before they could reach Antwerp.
