But this wasn’t true this was a rumour from the people and premier Gerbrandy from radio Oranje.
After the D-day landing in Normandy beach the end of the W.W.2 started this is also where the rumours started to got told around by the people. The first days the allied forces where extremely fast moving further up into France, after a few weeks Belgium was totally free of the Germans. And rumours where told they still where moving up that far but it wasn’t that fast.
The b.b.c. also said that the allied forces where already over the Dutch borders but they had trouble with it. So Netherlands had to wait for the forces had freed the Netherlands.
But is reality only a few British units where over the borders and this was seen by a British spy. And he told this in Breda to a few people, they told this to their fiends and so was it told all over the Netherlands.
And soon was told in the north of the Netherlands that Breda was already free.
So on the 5th of September a lot of people where standing on the streets to receive the Canadians and Americans but: there where no Canadians or Americans coming towards the north. They where stuck in the middle of Limburg.
And in the Cities where the people where waiting for the allied forces all the Germans where scared and runned away. The Dutch people said ‘Good journey and the Greetings to Hitler’.
Also in the concentration camps the Germans runned away, the Jewish People where scared if they go out of their rooms they got shot.
So the Jewish staid in their rooms and waited in fear of the Germans.
But later was told that the rumours where false and later that evening everybody knew that it was not true. So only a small piece of The Netherlands Was free and the rest had to wait still long to the next year for the Delivery and the also the winter known as the hunger winter.
People are waiting for the allied forces.
