Noordwolde the first village to be liberated by land
Noordwolde the first village to be liberated by land
In the evening of 11 April 1945, units of the Canadian Reconnaissance Regiment Royal Canadian Dragoons arrived at Dwingeloo, just before the so-called Frieslandriegel. This line of defence had been constructed shortly before by the work of many Dutch forced labourers. However, the line was hardly occupied and eventually turned out to be incorrectly constructed.
The Dragoons' task was to scout the road well ahead of the rest of the Canadian units. And they noted that the Germans in this area were barely able to defend themselves effectively. Partly for this reason, it was decided on 11 April that units of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and supporting units would make a jump to Leeuwarden in the following days. If the Frisian capital and possibly the rest of Friesland could be taken, the Germans would be trapped in the western part of the Netherlands. After all, large parts of Overijssel and Gelderland had also been liberated at this point.
The infantry had to advance through Zwolle, Meppel, Steenwijk, Heerenveen to Leeuwarden. To get them to Leeuwarden as soon as possible, all kinds of extra vehicles had been arranged. Meanwhile, the Royal Canadian Dragoons, and not much later another reconnaissance regiment, the Duke of York´s Royal Canadian Hussars, would enter Friesland to scout the planned main route there. And to create as much chaos as possible among the German defenders.Thanks to the citizens of Dieverbrug in Drenthe, an emergency bridge was built over the Drentse Hoofdvaart canal so that the Canadian vehicles could advance to Friesland. Then, on the morning of 12 April, the Dragoons were the first Canadian land unit to enter the province of Friesland. The village of Noordwolde was the first to be liberated.
Although this first Frisian village could be taken without a fight, there was brief fighting immediately north of Noordwolde. About twenty Germans and Dutch accomplices tried to delay the Canadians. After a short fight, the Germans fled the scene, leaving all their equipment behind. Others, including ten Dutch accomplices of the Landwacht and Ordnungspolizei, were captured.But the very first liberators to set foot on Frisian soil were French SAS paratroopers from the 3e Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes. Just over 700 of them were dropped over Drenthe and south-east Friesland on the night of 7 to 8 April. Their mission was to support the Allied ground operation. They did so by creating chaos behind German lines, capturing bridges, and carrying out all kinds of operations together with the resistance. They had to keep this up until the Canadian ground units reached them. A small proportion ended up at Appelscha and Haulerwijk and carried out their assignments there. In the performance of these assignments, 21-year-old Chasseur de 2e Classe (Private 2nd Class) Henri Pintaud was killed on 8 April.

Dit punt is ûnderdiel fan it trajekt 'It Paad Werom Terherne'. Besjoch de hiele rûte. Let op: Dizze rûte begjint by it grutte parkearplak yn it doarp, Koailan 2
(harkje hjir nei it audioferhaal)
Dat horeka yn Terherne altyd al in grutte rol spile hat, bewiist it ferhaal dat ik dy no fertelle sil. We weagje wer in sprong, no nei 1882. Café Zevenwouden is der allang en is no fan heit Rypkema. It Is ek de tiid dat it Far dimpt wurdt en Rypkema stiet foar de kar wa fan beide soannen de kroech oernimme sil. Der is spul en se komme der ûnderling net út. It kafee moat feilt wurde en de beide broers biede flink tsjin elkoar op. De iene broer lûkt oan it koartste ein en keapet in pân oan de oare kant fan it doarp by de brêge. Hy brekt it ôf en lit in nije herberch bouwe. Grutter en op in drokker plak as dat fan syn broer mei it Café Zevenwouden. In de 21ste ieuw hjit it de Gouden Leeuw. De konkurrinsjestriid liedt derta dat de broer mei Café Zevenwouden fallyt gean sil en it wer ferkocht wurde moat. Dochs sil de kroech syn namme hâlde, yn elts gefal oant yn de 21ste ieuw.
Oké, we stappe wer werom nei de hjoeddeistige tiid.
En we gean wer fierder. Al fynt it ferhaal oer de horeka en de kroegen fan Terherne noch net syn ein. Want watst miskien net witst is dat der noch in kroech wie, op in noch hiele oare ‘hoeke fan Terherne’. En de namme fan dy kroech wie wol hiel opmerkelik, hielendal as je sjogge nei de hjoeddeistige tiid.
We rinne basisskoalle Bloei oan de linkerkant foarby en stekke oer nei de herfoarme tsjerke. Gean mar troch it stek. En gean fuortendaliks rjochts ôf en oer it gers nei myn grêf. Ja, do sjochtst it goed. De earste stien rjochts, dat is myn lêste rêstplak. (No ja rêstplak, ik ha it der mar wer drok mei…)
Wolst wat foar my dwaan? Lêz dan eefkes mei folle omtinken myn lêste wink dy’t dêr skreaun stiet. Nim it eefkes goed yn dy op. “Tot in den eeuwigheid…”
[En no freegje ik dy: wat soe dyn lêste winsk wêze foar de wrâld dytst efterlitst? En soe it dan ek wier sa barre tinkst? Tsja…. Ik haw leard dat allinnich de tiid dat antwurd hat.Ik bin bliid dat ik dêr hjoed noch wat yn betsjutte kin. Dan sjogge je flak foar it tsjerkje it hûs mei de giele brievenbus. Gean foar dit hûs rjochts ôf, by de hage fan de tsjerke del, it smelle strjitsje yn. Nei it gielbrune hok stopje we eefkes. Do sjochst hjir in pear lytse âlde húskes stean. En âld binne se, want hjir fynst it earste stiennen hûs fan Terherne. Ek wol in stins neamd.
Hjirfoar gean we werom nei it jier 1500.
It giet om dizze wente, Wat letter in groepke fan lytsere húskes wurde sil, wurdt yn earste bouwd as 1 grut hûs. Yn dit hûs sitte Roazewinkels, dat binne stienen dy’t op de boulokaasje sels bakt wurde. As we dêrnei in spronkje meitsje nei it jier 1750, sjogge we dat der in grutte ferbouwing geande is. Fan it grutte hûs wurde 4 lytske húskes en in bûthús makke. Yn in inkelt húske binne dizze roazewinkels noch hieltyd oanwêzich, yn in skoarstien, it orizjinele en bewarre riikkanaal fan de stins. De inisjatyfnimmers fan de bou fan de stins binne de Oenema’s, in famylje fan boereadel dy’t in soad ûnreplik guod hawwe yn dit hiele gebied.. Yn de lege Wâlden, fan Terherne oant oan De Jouwer hawwe sy it foar’t sizzen.We rinne werom nei de dyk en slane op’e nij rjochts ôf by de giele brievenbus en rinne nei de Pastorij, de snackbar op’e hoeke.
