Ammunition Crates in Wijchen
Ammunition Crates in WijchenAmmunition Crates in Wijchen
During the winter of 1944–1945, the area around Nijmegen became a major gathering point for troops and ammunition. All this was in preparation for Operation Veritable, the attack on Germany that was to begin from this area on 8 February 1945. Many people had Allied soldiers and evacuees ‘quartered’ in their homes. Wijchen, too, was full of ammunition destined for the front. The ammunition crates were lined up in long rows along the road. The Zandstraat, now known as the Kasteellaan, was one of the streets packed with these crates, as was what is now the Nieuweweg. Children would regularly get hold of items from these crates, such as bullets, air pistols and the like. They often played with these, though unfortunately not always with a happy ending.

Wijchen Peace Monument
Wijchen Peace MonumentWijchen Peace Monument
‘To all those who gave their lives for peace, wherever in the world.’ This is the inscription on this monument, which commemorates the suffering caused by all wars. The monument was designed by Henk Scheffer, a resident of Wijchen, to mark the 40th anniversary of Wijchen’s liberation. On Saturday 8 September 1984, the Queen’s Commissioner for Gelderland, Mr De Bruijne, came to Wijchen to unveil the memorial. Commemorative events are held at the monument, including the commemoration of the liberation of Wijchen and the surrounding area on 17 September. The monument is also intended as a warning against the rise of fascism and racism. The white concrete column symbolises ‘good’. The shields, made of hot-dip galvanised steel, symbolise evil. Evil attempts to penetrate good, seeking to destroy it, but is repelled because good ultimately has greater strength.
