The Overloon War Museum presents the history of the Second World War. Here you can see how more than fifty million people lost their lives within five years, but also how the oppressed population dealt with limitations and shortcomings in inventive ways. Resistance and persecution are also discussed. Finally, of course, the liberation is also discussed, in particular the Battle of Overloon.

The cycle path leads under the hall ceiling of the museum, a unique highlight. But you can also visit the museum below without a bike, but then for a fee.

Shortly afterwards, we are disturbed by the sight of a tank lurking in the grass under the trees.

Behind it is a huge, dark building complex.

We have unknowingly reached the Oorlogsmuseum Overloon, the war museum in the Overloon dunes.

The entire museum area is dedicated to the liberation from German occupation by the Americans in October 1944.

A bicycle bridge, which is in fact closed to pedestrians, leads into the back of the huge building and out again at the front. Whether people on bikes can whizz through the entire building in between is a mystery to us because of the early hour.

Then the next tank is near the museum café.

Behind it is a bouncy castle. A second one is just being filled with air. Bizarre scenes continue on the still deserted site: A martial, realistic-looking soldier figure with a rifle in his hands storms in front of the seating areas of the “De Papegaai” café.
