At this memorial, hikers can find information about the "Wet Triangle" from the period 1933-1945. On the one hand, a picture from 1933 shows the place before the bombings in WWII and further pictures show it after the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd bombing raid.

At this memorial, hikers of all ages can learn beautifully processed information about the "wet triangle" from this time.
In addition to the pictures, there is also a lot to read, including a list of the perished civilians and workers who lived and worked on the canal. In addition, one page contains information about a bomber crew who died in the attack, probably due to the bombs of a friendly bomber flying above them.

The bombs that were found in or around the canal and defused and then placed around the memorial are impressive.

If you want to learn something about the history of the "wet triangle" at this time, you should definitely visit this place.

Between 1963 and 1994, 578 duds were defused by the ordnance disposal service in the area of the culvert in Gravenhorst [8]. The size of the bombs dropped were mainly 5, 10 and 20 quintals.
