Holland WW2 Things to see (1 Viewer)

On our way back from our home here in sunny Spain, we are travelling through Germany via the Netherlands.

Planning going well apart from Holland.

We are struggling to find to WW2 stuff (apart from the obvious Arnhem).

Just over the border in Belgium is the Hurtigen Forest with over 35000 American casualties alone making this one of the bloodiest battles in WW2. There are a number of museums if you Google the name.
