Little Canada
Little CanadaLittle Canada
In September 1944, the war was raging through Gelderland. The Allied forces were stationed there between October 1944 and February 1945, sleeping in barracks such as those shown in the picture. When the Allied forces advanced into Germany, they left a number of these barracks behind. Tens of thousands of civilians were forced to flee because of the war. Wijchen – then home to 8,000 inhabitants and a safe haven amidst the violence – had to accommodate 6,000 displaced people in a short space of time. After the liberation, the housing shortage remained unacceptably high and the council took over a collection of Allied huts. People came to live in these eleven huts and barracks, without electricity or plumbing; water was pumped by hand. The complex soon came to be known as ‘Little Canada’. In 1955, the last resident left and the complex was demolished.
