Didam was finally liberated on 3 April 1945!
After the Battle of Arnhem, the Liemers region came under heavy fire. In the run-up to liberation, the outskirts of Didam in particular became a chaotic war zone. In addition to military personnel, numerous civilians lost their lives, and farms and houses were destroyed or set ablaze. Walk through history and experience the stories of war and liberation in the very places where they happened.
