On April 16, 1945, late in the afternoon, the British infantry division ‘Polar Bears’ departs from Arnhem to liberate the towns of Ede, Bennekom, and Wageningen with the support of nearly eighty Canadian tanks. The troops advance along the Rijksweg 24 (nowadays N224) and reach restaurant ‘Planken Wambuis’ in the adjacent nature reserve after encountering five roadblocks by seven o’clock in the evening.
