David van der ReisDavid van der Reis
Along this road lies a boulder with an information board about David van der Reis. Here, at a farm at number 8 Rakenbergseweg in Alverna, David van der Reis, who was Jewish, went into hiding. The monument illustrates how David van der Reis travelled across the country to assist the Resistance. On 21 May 1943, this cost him his life.

This monument at the Catholic Cemetery commemorates the residents of Wijchen who lost their lives on the Grebbeberg during the May days of 1940. Of the six names listed, at least five are buried at the Dutch Military Cemetery on the Grebbeberg. The grave location of one person, G.W. Kloosterman, is unknown.

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.
