Abstract
  • Camp Tophat was located in what is today (2015) the Linkeroever area (just to the west of the Schelde River) of Antwerp which is located just east of Zwijndrecht, Belgium. One of the seven theaters that were located at Camp Tophat. This does not appear to be the theater that was located between the Beer Garden and the Band Box as there is no large addition at the far end as seen in Fleming's image 2E-1.

Caption
  • Fleming's caption typed on reverse side of image reads, in full: "One of the seven theaters at this staging area running continuous showing all afternoon and. Nothing but a glorified quonset hut, but right appealing to the GI because somebody's bothered to name it the Roxy and run shows often enough to eliminate standing in long lines. Tophat, Bel -- 15-20 Oct 45."
