The liberation of Apeldoorn was part of Operation Cannonshot: Canadian troops crossed the river IJssel near Gorssel to liberate the Veluwe. After fierce resistance on the way to Apeldoorn, the Canadians counted on heavy fighting at the liberation of the city. However, most German troops had already left Apeldoorn and the resistance wanted to prevent a heavy attack.
