(harkje hjir nei it audioferhaal)
Wolkom bêste kuierder. Wolkom yn Terherne. Wat aardich datst bist! Earlik sein hie’k dy al ferwachte. Want it ferhaal gong al troch de buorren hè? Dat de poarten nei it ferline fan Terherne iepen binne. Dat lang net fertelde ferhalen no foar’t ljocht komme. (harren iepenbierje) Want dat kloppet. En ik haw der foar soarge. Ik haw dêr sa myn reden foar. De wichtichste? Om’t ik fyn dat âlde ferhalen nea ferlern gean meie.
O, nim my net kwea ôf. Ik ferjit hielendal om my eefkes oan jim bekent te meitsjen. Ik bin dyn ferteller hjoed. Ik hie -en haw noch hieltyd- in waarme bân mei dit doarp. Sa’n 400 jier lyn wenne ik hjirre. It wie in oare tiid en in hiele oare wrâld. Ik haw me altyd bekroade om de Terhernsters. Ik woe op se passe, ‘Oant yn de Ivichheid’, kin je wol sizze.
Wa’t ik krekt bin en wat dit allegear betsjut, sil tidens dizze kuiertocht dúdlik wurde. Ik warskôgje dy wol alfêst in bytsje. Want de kâns is grut dat dyn byld fan dit gewoane fryske doarpke, nei hjoed ienris en foargoed, noait mear itselde is.
Want ja, it leaflike Terherne is in plak fan kontrasten. Mei de tiid as grutste yllúzje. Neat is wat it liket.
Bist safier? Dan geane we.Rin mar nei de wâl. We steane hjir op it parkearplak by it opstapplak en foar ús leit de Alde Sânsleat. Sjoch marris om dy hinne.
De âlde Sânsleat dy’t hjir foar dy leit is in drok farwetter nei Akkrum en it Hearrenfean. It gebouke fan de Kameleon hjir efter dy, is in brêgehûs en it terrein in plak wêr’t skippen lade en losse. It is in drokte fan belang. Preammen, tsjalken, skouwen, hannel yn fan alles en noch wat. Mar ek de lêste nijtsjes út de omjouwing hearst hjirre, fan de brêgewachter en oaren. Faaks hast sels noch in boadskip…. Jou it mar troch oan him. De skippers binne dyn boadskippers en fertellers.
Sjochris nei links en rin ris in stikje by’t haad del. Oantst foar de yngong fan it lytse haventsje stietst dat oan de oare kant leit. Dat is de earste doarpsjachthaven fan Terherne. Doe in feartsje dat tagong joech foar preammen nei de lytse ‘komelkers’, lytse boeren dy’t mar in pear kij molken. De earste haven siz ik mei klam, want tsja…. Dêr is mei de lineaire tiid wol it ien en oar feroare. Terherne telt yn 2024 sa’n 11 havens en dy wurde hast allegearre brûkt foar de plezierfeart.
Dêr geane we it is 1976.
Rûn dizze tiid is men dwaande om de Nije Sânsleat te graven en sil it farferkear hjir yngripend feroarje. Sjochst dat twadde húske rjochts fan de havenyngong? Dy mei dy âlde fryske gieltsje? Yn dat húske wennet skûtsjeskipper Tjitte Jans Brouwer. In begrip yn de skûtsjewrâld en op dit stuit 85 jier âld. Op it parkearterrein hjir achter dy stiet in grutte direksjekeet dy’t brûkt wurdt troch de oannimmer fan de Nije Sânsleat. It wurk oan dizze brêge is krekt klear en de keet stiet leech. It is tongersdei 12 febrewaris, in oere as 5 moarns betiid as ik, en alle Terhernsters opskrilje fan in gi-gan-tyske knal. De keet eksplodearret en stikken dak fleane oer de Sânsleat, oer de huzen hinne en komme dêr yn de tunen del. By in grut tal huzen yn it heale doarp barste de finsters derút en ek by de horekabedriuwen oan wearskanten fan de brêge sit der gjin glês mear yn de kesinen.
It húske fan skipper Brouwer hat de grutste klap opfongen en der leit gjin dakpanne mear op it dak. De kesinen binne fyn en der leit gjin board mear heel yn de kast. In kranteman befreget de skipper en eefkes letter stiet yn de krante dat hy ‘wol sa’n 20 sentimeter optild wie’. Want Tjitte fertelde, yn it frysk mei in twinkeling yn’e eagen: Och man, ik wipte sa’n ein omheech yn de bedstee, der hie wol in jongfrommes tusken past”.
No’t de rêst werom is en it pún opromme, geane we no echt op paad. Se rêde it wol sûnder ús. Se bouwe it wol wer op.
Kom, we binne werom yn it no en rinne hjir linksôf de brêge oer it âlde doarp yn. Ik siz wol: “It âlde doarp, mar eins is dat ek in yllúsje. Do kinst dit plak faaks as it sintrum fan it doarp, mar de echte oarsprong fan Terherne leit hjir net, mar op de oare kant fan it doarp. Dêr komme we daliks. No rinne we earst nei de supermerk, wat fierderop oan de linkerhân, wachtsje dêr mar eefkes op my.

The liberation of Leeuwarden
The liberation of Leeuwarden
On 11 April 1945, it became clear that German resistance in the north of the Netherlands was limited. On 12 April, the Allies seized this opportunity to advance on Friesland as quickly as possible. One of the main goals was to liberate Leeuwarden. The 9th Canadian Infantry Brigade was designated for this purpose. But things would turn out differently.
On 12 April, the Royal Canadian Dragoons entered Friesland at Noordwolde. They were to conduct reconnaissance with their armoured vehicles and reach the Wadden Sea as quickly as possible. As a result, the German troops in Friesland and Groningen would be separated.
On the night of 14 to 15 April, three Squadrons of the Dragoons were at Suameer. Burgum could not be reached earlier that day, because the bridge at Burgummerdam had been blown up by the Germans.
Meanwhile, all sorts of things were happening in nearby Leeuwarden. On 12 April, the airfield had been blown up by the Germans. And they left the city on 14 April. Leeuwarden would not be defended. The Burgerweeshuis (Civil Orphanage) that had housed several German agencies was set on fire. An attempt to blow up the telephone exchange failed due to an ingenious intervention by the resistance. In the early morning of 15 April, the resistance also took to the streets en masse to occupy important points and to capture Germans who had remained behind.
The Dragoons in Suameer were in contact with the resistance in Leeuwarden. Due to various reports, it was unclear whether there was now heavy fighting in Leeuwarden or whether the Germans had left the city completely. Because the Germans had blown up important bridges on the route from Heerenveen to Leeuwarden, the infantry could not quickly provide assistance.
So, the Dragoons went to take a look for themselves. Initially, a patrol of four vehicles was sent via the Groningerstraatweg into the city around half past eleven. One of the Canadians in those vehicles recorded the following:
"As we entered the city, passing through the concrete barrier by the narrow passageway left for normal traffic, we were met by an almost hysterical patrol of Resistance men [...] In a few moments the news of our arrival had spread through the city, and we were given a fantastic welcome as we rolled slowly forward into the centre of town."A resident of Leeuwarden recalled:
"We lived close to the Groningerstraatweg, where our liberators passed. Many hundreds of us stood there, all happy spectators. All of a sudden, two ladies from the row flung themselves forward and threw their arms around the Canadians' necks, saying: "Oh darlings, you’re here at last!"After the patrol determined that the coast was clear, the entire C Squadron, a detachment of the Royal Canadian Engineers and Regimental Headquarters of Lieutenant-Colonel Landell followed. Leeuwarden had been liberated. After this, thousands took to the streets. One of the Canadians wrote:
"We halted, and were immediately surrounded by laughing, yelling mobs of people, bringing flowers to give to us, and cheering every move. The Resistance men were everywhere, doing their best to keep the people within bounds and off the cars, but their efforts were hardly necessary. I never saw a more satisfying gathering in my life."Leeuwarden had been liberated by the Dragoons through unexpected circumstances. On the night of 15 to 16 April, Canadian infantry moved into the city.

Sacrifice for freedom
Sacrifice for freedom
Near the crash site, the "Monument to Allied Airmen" was unveiled by the sister of one of the crew members in 2004 as a tribute to the fallen crew. A boulder with a plaque and a panel with background information on what happened keep the memory alive.
Of seven soldiers killed, five were British, one Canadian and one Australian. They were buried side by side. Identical white natural stone tombstones with an embossed emblem and cross have been placed at each grave. The cross is not only a symbol of the Christian faith, but also a reminder of the sacrifice made by war victims for a life of freedom.
