Occupation of the Blesse bridge by the NBS
Occupation of the Blesse bridge by the NBS
On 8 April 1945, the words "The bottle is empty" sounded on Radio Orange. This code message was the go-ahead for the resistance to start putting bridges, roads and railway lines out of order thirty-six hours later. The Frisian resistance answered this call en masse.
As soon as the Allied vanguard drew near, the armed resistance was also deployed to support their advance. And that sometimes meant that there were also bridges that had to be occupied rather than deactivated. One such action took place in the municipality of Weststellingwerf.
On 12 April 1945, the Canadian vanguard approached the village of De Blesse. The local section of the Dutch Domestic Armed Forces (NBS) was instructed by the resistance leadership to scout the railway bridge and road bridge (the Blesse bridge) over the Linde and, if possible, to occupy them.These bridges were important for maintaining the speed of the Canadian advance. Partly for this reason, they were also often guarded by German soldiers. In most cases, the bridges were also fitted with explosives. This allowed the bridge to be blown up if the Germans eventually had to retreat.
The reconnaissance revealed that the Blesse bridge was guarded by a total of about 10 soldiers. The NBS then decided to attack the bridge from two sides in the evening. Thanks to several aerial arms drops, the resistance fighters were well armed. In the dark, the men set off and split up into three groups. They eventually took up posts north and south of the bridge. The plan was to storm the bridge at two in the morning from the south.To their surprise, their fire was not returned as they approached the bridge. The guards appeared to have disappeared. With that, the bridge had unexpectedly fallen into the hands of the NBS without bloodshed. Moreover, no explosives were found to be affixed to bridge. After the bridge was secured, it was guarded until the Canadians arrived.
News of the occupation of the bridge was reported to the section commander the same night. And through other means of communication, the news also reached the Canadians. Holding the bridge facilitated and accelerated the Canadians' advance later in the day.

(harkje hjir nei it audioferhaal)
Ja, want ek dizze T-spitsing bestiet út wetter! En it hûs oan de rjochter hân, mei it izeren stek deromhinne is yn dizze tiid in stôkâld wenhús mei in winkel dat omringe is mei fearten. Al die fearten hawwe ek allegearre wer fertakkings. En ek hjirre giet al it ferkear oer it wetter. Wat in stoatersk plakje om te wenjen midden op dit knooppunt! Terherne as Lyts Venetie. It âlde klintsje mei winkel op dizze hoeke baarnt ôf yn 1920. Dêrnei wurdt dit wenhûs bouwd.
Kom we stekke oer, nei de tsjerke op’e oare kant, de Fermanje.
We geane werom nei 1870, de tiid wêryn de goeddogger Dornseiffen preket. Yn Terherne is gjin grutte tsjerkestiid. De beide dûmny’s fan beide tsjerken wurkje goed meielkoar op. Links sjogge je de tinkstien stean, dy’t postuum yn 1922 troch de mienskippelike Fryske Skippers oprjochte is foar Dûmny Dornseiffen. Hy kriget dit as wurdearring foar it oprjochtsjen fan it skoalfûns foar skippersbern, wêr’t ik dy earder oer fertelde.
Okee, we geane wer fierder. Stek de dyk mar wer oer en rin by de supermerk del op nei de brêge. We komme hjir troch in stikje ‘Buorren’. It is hjir sterk feroare. Do witst sa linkendewei al dat Terherne as lyts Venetie is yn dizze tiid. Tusken dizze âlde húskes, links en rjochts fan ús, sjochst lytse smelle steechjes. De steechjes binne en wiene âlder dan de húskes dy’t bouwd binne. Alle steechjes rûnen nei it wetter. As der yn dy tiid drones west hiene, soest prachtige bylden sjen fan lytse postsegeltsjes grûn, omfieme mei wetter. Mei oan it wetter lytse húskes. Ho ris , we stopje eefkes krekt foar de pizzeria. It Pân mei de giele stienen en it griene haachje. Sjoch hjir marris om dy hinne. Dizze buorren, it sintrum fan it doarp is pas nei 1876 ûntstien. It begong mei in hiel smel dykje wêr’t noch gjin auto del koe. Der moasten ferskate húzen fuortbrutsen wurde om in strjitsje oanlizze te kinnen.
As we foar de pizzaria rjochts de gloppe yn rinne, sjogge we oan it ein it húske wêr’t ‘Ferhoalen Herntsje’, oftewol ‘Verborgen Hoekje’ stiet. Der stiet hjir in groepke mei lytse en âlde húskes. Hjir wennen allegearre skippers. We rinne werom nei de dyk en geane fierder nei de brêge. By de bankjes neist de brêge, stiet it folgjende pealtsje.
