Today, April 17th, we cellebrated the Liberation of Apeldoorn by the Canadian Forces 60 years ago. The ceremony was held at the lock in 'het Apeldoorns kanaalâ ?. The mayor of Apeldoorn commemorate the Canadians who liberated Apeldoorn and two resistance fighters. They went over the canal on April 16th, 1945 to get in touch wilt the Canadian Army, because the command did not know that most of the german forces already left Apeldoorn. The planned bombardment on the village of Apeldoorn was cancelled by the Canadian forces which saved a lot of lives.
