The liberation of Friesland 1
The liberation of Friesland 1
In early April, it became clear that the liberation of Friesland was imminent. Although the province had not suffered a real Hunger Winter like other parts of the Netherlands, there were severe shortages of just about everything. And the terror of the occupying forces was growing. This also led to increased resistance against the occupying forces. The battle between the two was tougher than ever in early 1945.
In Friesland, assault groups known as Knokploegen (KP) were responsible for most acts of resistance. But there were other groups too. On the orders of the Dutch government in London, all these groups were merged into the Dutch Domestic Armed Forces (NBS). In Friesland, this happened on 12 December 1944.
The NBS, popularly referred to as the BS, gave the armed resistance an organisation with a clear structure. The NBS was also supposed to play a role in the upcoming liberation. To this end, resistance groups were provided with weapons from autumn 1944. These were dropped from the air.
On 8 April, Radio Orange broadcast the message "The bottle is empty." This was the signal for the NBS to start carrying out sabotage operations 36 hours later. The aim was to make it as difficult as possible for the Germans to defend themselves against the approaching Allied forces.
The resistance did this by putting bridges and railways out of order, blocking waterways and blocking roads. The response of the occupying forces was ruthless. In retaliation, dozens more prisoners were shot at different times and places.Once the Canadians entered Friesland on 12 April, they were supported extremely effectively by the Frisian resistance. Because it was superbly organised, they were able to help the Canadians take control of important bridges, repair damaged bridges, and advise on the most favourable route.
By 18 April, the whole province was liberated except for the Wadden Islands (these were liberated in late May and in June). Compared to other provinces, there was little fighting in Friesland. Overall, the few thousand German troops who had been unable to flee Friesland were defeated by the Canadians relatively quickly.
The commander of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, Lieutenant Colonel Landell, praised the actions of the resistance by stating "Friesland liberated herself." While that may be a bit of an exaggeration, the actions of the Frisian resistance undoubtedly accelerated the liberation. And reduced the number of casualties on the Allied side.
In confrontations with German troops and their Dutch accomplices, at least 31 resistance fighters lost their lives. On the Allied side, at least eleven Canadians and one Frenchman were killed. The fighting and shelling also resulted in dozens of civilian casualties. The number of casualties on the German side is not known, but probably ran into the hundreds. With 320 houses destroyed and 4,000 damaged and 80 bridges destroyed, Friesland was materially the least damaged province in the Netherlands.

Peal 2: Krúspunt supermarkt
Peal 2: Krúspunt supermarkt
Dit punt is ûnderdiel fan it trajekt 'It Paad Werom Terherne'. Besjoch de hiele rûte.
(harkje hjir nei it audioferhaal)
Ja, dêr bin ik wer. As it goed is stietst no op de T-splitsing yn it doarp, mei de rêch nei de supermerk. Sjoch marris rêstich om dy hinne. Do stietst no foar op in foar doarpsbegrippen ‘drok’ krúspunt. De dyk rjochting de slûs en de pier leit rjocht foar dy. De dyk nei links giet fierder de buorren yn en no wurdt it nijsgierrich. Ik sil dy útdaagje.
We gean nei it jier 1870.
In tiid fan komelkers en skippers. En in tiid fan earmoede. Dit plak, yn it sintrum fan it doarp, wurdt net bepaald troch in knooppunt fan diken, lykas dat yn de 21ste ieuw it gefal is, mar troch farwetters. Ja, do hearst it goed. De dyk links fan dy, fierderop it doarp yn en de dyk foar dy rjochting iisbaan is it farwetter ’t Far.De supermerk is ek yn dizze tiid al in doarpswinkel en eigendom fan de beurtskipper. Oan de oare kant sjochst in boerepleats. Letter sil dit de Kameleonbuorkerij wurde. No is it noch ien fan de grutste buorkerijen dy’t hjir oan it wetter leit. En dan rjochts, oan de oare kant fan it wetter, dêr sjochst in rige skippershúzen.
Tsja! It wûnder fan de tiid. De wegen fan de 21ste ieuw binne in yllúsje, as’t it de skippers fan 1870 fregest. En de farwetters krektlike goed, ast in moderne toerist deselde fraach stelle soest. Dúzelt it dy al wat?
Stek mar oer, we rinne oer it wetter rjochting iisbaan. Sjoch goed út, it kin hjir drok wêze. Foar de fitness-tastellen sjochst in grintpaad nei links. Dit geane we del.It gebied om de iisbaan hinne is allinnich mar greide en sleatsjes oant 1990. Op dat stuit it grutste en bêste stik greide fan Terherne. Der rinne sa’n 60 kij te weidzjen. Letter sil dit lân plak romje foar wetter en wurde der 250 wenten bouwd, benammen foar rekreaasje. Ik sil dy earlik sizze, dat is foar my as âld boer en hoeder fan Terherne mar dreech te befetsjen.
Ek wurdt de âlde iisbaan hjirhinne ferpleats. De Terhernster skippers binne de bêste reedriders, dus dat begryp ik noch wol.
Nei de iisbaan geane we links ôf en rinne we sa’n 30 meter fierder, oanst linksôf fan dy in grintpaad sjochst. ’t Efterom, stiet op it buordtsje. Gean dit grintpaad op. Rin mar troch safier as’t sjen kinst en dan krekt de bocht troch. Do sjochst dêr straks oan de linkerhân in grutte hege pastorij, mei in tún mei knotwylgen. Wachtsje dêr mar eefkes.
We binne noch hieltyd yn 1870. Ûnlijich waar, wyn en kjeld.
We steane hjir foar de kosterswenning, dy’t tsjin de achterkant fan de Fermanje bouwd is. De minsken binne earm. It is in tiid fan hurd wurkjen foar in bytsje jild. Dit jild foar de komelkers en de skippers. Ek hjir is allinnich mar greide, mei sleatsje der omhinne. Mear en mear skippers strûpe der ûnder (geane fallyt) en de oaren moatte hieltyd fierder en langer fuort om hannel driuwe te kinnen, troch de oanhâldende konkurrinsje. Se komme sels yn Seelân en Antwerpen telânne. Ek de komelkers hawwe it dreech. Troch de komst fan de molkfabriken, komme der hieltyd mear komelkers en dêrtroch binne de opbringsten leech en de lânpachten heech. En tel dêr noch de feepest by op. It is sels sa slim, dat in inkeling himsels ferdrinkt, nei’t er betrape wurdt by it oanlingen fan syn molke mei wetter!Mar yn dit tsjerkje en yn dizze wenning baarnt it ljocht. It is de tsjerke wêr’t Dûmny Dornseiffen preket. Dornseiffen is in man sûnder bern, mar yn syn hert is er in echte famyljeman. In goeddwaander. (goeddogger) Hy betsjut in soad foar de skippersfamyljes en harren bern en hat hert foar harren. (mient it goed mei harren.) Sa soarget hy foar in system wêrtroch de bern nei skoalle kinne as harren âlders fuort binne en se yn eigen doarp by famylje terjochte kinne. In part fan it skoaljild wurdt oan de famylje betelle, sadat se de bern, nettsjinsteande de earmoed, yn hûs nimme kinne en yn de waarmte fan harren húshâlding opfange kinne.
Ast goed sjochst, sjocht ûnder de tsjerke in kelder. Hjir mochten de skippers harren ierpels by’t winter opslaan, sadat dy ek froastfrij bewarre wurde koene.
Kom, we geane fierder dit dykje del. Oant it ein fan dit skelpepaad stopje we eefkes. Dêr fertel ik dy in oar ferhaal en silst merke yn wat foar rauwe tiid we hjir belibje dat in soad yndruk makket.
