The Overloon War Museum is the biggest WWII museum in The Netherland. Right here, the tank battle of Overloon unfolded in the autumn of 1944. The village of Overloon was totally devestated back then. In order to remember the casualties and victims of that episode the museum was founded in 1946, even before the village was rebuilt. Nowadays over 100,000 people visit the museum every year. The first exhibition is about the occupation of The Netherlands from 1940 till 1945. The second large exhibition, displayed on 10.000 m2, contains over 150 military vehicles and artillery, both from allied forces and German. In addition to these two main exhibitions there are several smaller presentations, of which the Battle at Overloon presentation is definitely worth a visit. A museum restaurant and a shop completes this museum, which can be found in the so called Liberty Park in Overloon.
This is a great museum. A very impressive static display of vehicles, mirrors, bridges, bombs. Lots of pantzer and aircrafts, weapons, canons. “Schwerer Gustav”. (An enormous gun; the diameter of the barrel was 80 cm, the shells had a weight of 5000 kg) Also included is some history of the German occupation and its affects on the local Dutch families that were affected by it. Interviews with survivors. Allow plenty of time to get round the huge variety of hardware, all in a bright modern space. Good overview on WW2 activities in this area of the Netherlands. Visited with teenagers (my grandchildren) they were very impressed. A visit can be highly recommended. Pitty that teenagers and seniors do not get a discount. Regards Schliek
