A column of army vehicles will travel through Drenthe for the next ten days, on the occasion of 80 years of freedom in the Netherlands. The procession consists of 100 to 150 historic army vehicles and drives a daily route that the liberators also drove in April 1945.
In addition, dozens of cities and villages are visited, all of which have organized their own program.
The army vehicles start their journey this morning around 9.30 am in Dalen and leave for the center of Coevorden. The provincial kick -off of the liberation of Drenthe takes place there. The bivouac can be found in Dalen and Westerbork in the coming days and the route continues along the Hardenberg region, Coevorden, Emmen, Midden-Drenthe and the Hondsrug.
