WOII in 360°: de 'capitulatie' in Wageningen | Achter de Dijken

Leo Blokhuis takes you on a 360° journey back to May 5, 1945. What happened that day in Wageningen? The highest-ranking German general, Canadian commander, and leader of the Dutch resistance—"our" Prince Bernhard—gathered at Hotel de Wereld. It will go down in history as the moment the Germans capitulated in the Netherlands after World War II. But is that true? In "Behind the Dikes," Leo Blokhuis unravels our history of freedom. The desire for freedom and autonomy runs like a thread through our history. From the very beginning with Batavians, Frisians, and Romans to the fiercely fought peace of 1945. There is no single story of the liberated Dutch people. Every century has its own myths, its own heroes, its own freedom fighters (and its own truth).
