On 16 April 1945 the 5th Canadian Armoured Division liberated the village of Otterlo. But other German soldiers, on the run to the west, occupied the village again. In the ensuing confusion the skirmishes escalated into a vicious battle, with more than 300 soldiers killed: the last battle on Dutch soil.
