Wow, what a small world. I was stationed at Het Harte, Nl. I was assigned to a remote signal site ( boy what hard duty lol) in the early eighties. It was about 20 K from Zwolle. In fact I even lived in an apartment in Zwolle for a time. Holland is a beautiful country with very friendly people that still honor their liberation from the Nazi's. On the fith of May ( liberation day ) all traffic stops for 5 minutes in honor of all who lost their lives ( I can't really remember the time, but I think it was at 1300 hrs ). I however was ignorant of how Zwolle was liberated. Thanks for sharing.
