Perhaps something for you as well?
The Overloon War Museum presents the history of the Second World War. Here, you can see how it came to pass that more than fifty million people lost their lives in just five years, but also how the oppressed population ingeniously coped with restrictions and shortages. Attention is given to the resistance as well as the persecution. Finally, there is, of course, focus on the liberation and the Battle of Overloon.
