Memorial Victims Bombardment Wageningen
This memorial was unveiled on 17 September 2019. On that day it was exactly 75 years ago that forty citizens of the Hamelakkers residential area and part of the Diedenweg of Wageningen, died as a result of a bomb raid on this part of the town. The allied forces were carrying out a bomb raid on a German target 800 meters south of this location, before Operation Market Garden was commenced. Due to a mistake, the bombs came down at the wrong spot.
