Wageningen is inextricably linked to the Second World War. The city was in the line of fire in both 1940 and 1944/1945. And in both 1940 and 1944 the entire population was evacuated. The war has left its mark in and around Wageningen. However, Wageningen is best known as the City of Liberation, because the capitulation was signed here on May 5, 1945. This event is therefore extensively commemorated and celebrated on May 5. Download the brochure here with lots of information about Wageningen and freedom
