Sculpture ‘Near Miss’
Sculpture ‘Near Miss’Sculpture ‘Near Miss’
On 21 September 1944, a ‘Short Stirling MK 4’ took off from the British airfield at Fairford to supply the 1st Airborne Division stationed in Oosterbeek. The airdrop was successful, but on the return journey the four-engine transport aircraft was fired upon by a German fighter, which had initially been mistaken for an Allied aircraft. An emergency landing was unavoidable. Batenburg would have been struck by the burning aircraft had it not managed, at the very last moment, to make a belly landing on the River Maas. Thanks to the swift action of circus performers staying in Batenburg, three occupants were rescued. Conry Candler, who was among the victims, is buried in Batenburg cemetery. In 2003, the aircraft’s undercarriage was found near Dieden, on the opposite bank of the Meuse,

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.
