Travel back in time to the liberation of the Netherlands: imagine the thundering engines of fighter planes, the bravery of pilots, and American paratroopers descending from the sky.
The Museum Bevrijdende Vleugels (Wings of Liberation Museum) narrates the gripping story of the southern Netherlands' liberation as World War II came to a close. Located in the very area where, on September 17, 1944, airborne operations kicked off Operation Market Garden, heralding the start of the southern Netherlands' liberation. This historical journey spans from the 1940 occupation and the repressive years of 1940-1944 to the triumphant liberation in the waning months of 1944.
The museum boasts an extensive collection, featuring dioramas, photographs, actual aircraft, and weaponry used during Operation Market Garden.
