    Statue of the resistance hero Robert Vekemans is in the right place here. At this location he guided Three British Tanks across the Rupel Bridge on 4 September 1944. He was the key to the rapid liberation of Boom and then the city of Antwerp.

    At the beginning of September 1944, he and his resistance group ensured the rapid liberation of Boom and the City of Antwerp.
