Heavy shelling on Pingjum
Heavy shelling on Pingjum
After the liberation of Sneek on April 15, 1945, Canadian troops advanced to the Afsluitdijk. The Frisian resistance advised against the attack. It remembered the May days at the beginning of the war in 1940.
After the Canadians had been festively welcomed in Leeuwaren, it was important to advance quickly to Franeker to prevent the last escape option of the Germans over the Afsluitdijk and the IJsselmeer. The attack against the Afsluitdijk was launched from the southeast on 16 April, but the tanks of the Queens Own Rifles soon ran into the strong German defenses.
After that, the village of Wons was surrounded, but the Germans defended themselves very fanatically at Pingjum. There were many snipers and the Canadians were fired on from the farms. Allied fighters and artillery were deployed to break the German resistance. During the shelling, five farms went up in flames, six civilians, one Canadian and 46 Germans were killed. On April 18, 1945, the Canadians were able to report that the entire area had been cleared of enemies.

OUROND
pas nei it griene börd
wêrt ik in geef gedicht op lês
wyt ik, hiest tot för kört
förbij in trepke en it gers
genôch foar jong en âld
om förtst it wytst wer furt te ranen
wurdt alles minder kâld
dan hast dy dêrby del te jaan
t is goed, dit gasterlân
san dichter hoecht nit op te jutten
aanst lis ik bij it strân
k he lauwer toch gin kâlde futten
