April 1945 My father with the Canadian Corps of the 1st Canadian Army helped liberate !
When I visit for my 1st trip there, love to see the area

All hail Canada

Only one thing to say Thank you Canada

My grandfather was a Canadian soldier in the Netherlands. Said it was the most beautiful country with the nicest people and loved it. My great uncle, who married a Dutch girl, said the same thing, even though his best friend was killed during the liberation.

@peterbishop1968 Sorry. But the Netherlands was liberated largely by the Canada soldiers and their negociation tactics aided in the capitulation of the Germans....you try and learn your history and stop attributing everything to America..

Last time I went to Amsterdam all the people I saw were either Moroccan, taking and selling drugs , pimping or prostitutes. The Dutch must feel so happy to have been liberated by the US and become one of the US s overseas colonies. try reading and finding out about real history and stop living in the matrix.

my great cousin died liberating holland while trying to save civilians,i teared up watching this
god save the queen
The liberation, was a very happy day, but both my parents who are now 75 and 73 still talk about the brutality of the German soldiers. Both of my Grandfathers spent most of the war away from there family in concentration camps. As a young boy my grandfather would instil his mistrust of the germans into me. Dad is from the Bali straat in Amsterdam, and mom is from Edam, and me Purmerend. My hat's off to all the allied troops who saved this small country from certain destruction.
