RE: Happy Victory Day

in #victoryday6 years ago

In The Netherlands, we have Remembrance Day (we call it "dodenherdenking"  = "remembrance of the dead") on the 4th of May, and Liberation Day is celebrated one day later.

My paternal grandfather was liberated from a German camp by the Russians, so the photo is appreciated. Also, many thanks to both your grandfathers. Which theatre were they in?

Sort:  

I don't know exactly where they served as in which battles. I was raised by one of them but he passed away before I got to be old enough to really get what he was telling me. The other one died way before my time.

If you want to know: there are ways to find out; it's in the archives somewhere.

I'd have to speak to the family to find out what they know. That may be possible but will take quite a few hours of pre-drinking.
