Hillegom Holland
Hi
I was born in Hillegom and was 3 years of age when the town was liberated by Canadian troops. My aunty in Holland has a book about the 4 years of occupation by German Forces. In the book there are some photographs that shows the Canadian Troops arriving in the town. There is even a street scene photo of towns folk showing me as a 3 year old with my 12 year old aunty.
I have always been told by family that it was the canadian Forces that first entered and liberated the town.
Hope that helps, Cheers
Little Jo
