Occupation and liberation of Limburg

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the far south of Limburg. At the time no one thought that the liberation of the rest of the province was still six months away. The arrival of allied troops in the northern villages of Arcen and Velden, Bergen and Well on 3 March 1945, marks the liberation of the whole province.

The stories about the occupation and liberation of Limburg are many. We pass them on, from generation to generation - lest we forget. Read a selection of those stories here.
