The Nationaal Oorlogs- en Verzetsmuseum (National War and Resistance Museum) of the Netherlands is located at Overloon, which is about 30km to the south of Nijmegen and 5km to the north-west of Venray (Venraij). In September 1944, during Operation Market Garden, the Allies planned to broaden their supply corridor from the Belgian border to Nijmegen, but they encountered stiff German resistance in the area of Overloon and Venray. A battle raged there for three weeks and included the only tank battle to take place in the Netherlands.
In May 1946 a committee of Overloon villagers opened a museum in remembrance of the Battle of Overloon on a part of the battlefield, displaying remnants of the Battle. The museum grew with many gifts from Allied troops, former resistance groups and members of the public, and the museum building was extended. The nature of the collection, containing weapons, photographs, and documents, made the museum committee decide to give the museum a national character.
The Museumpark covers an area of thirty-five acres and originally contained all of the larger exhibits on display, such as artillery pieces, aircraft and military vehicles. The majority of these are now contained in a new museum building, along with the Marshall Collection of vehicles. This building also displays smaller exhibits, such as small-arms, as well as many photographs, documents, maps and models illustrating various aspects of the First and Second World Wars.
The owner of the Marshall Collection, Jaap de Groot, loaned the collection to Overloon and as part of the deal Overloon built the new Marshall hall. In 2009 there was a report that de Groot had applied to have the collection returned because he was unhappy with Overloon’s management of the collection, but he lost the case. (Source: Rijnmond.nl). Jaap de Groot died in April 2011 at the age of 88 (source: M. Krauss).

U.S. 7th Armored Division Memorial
On 27 September 2008 a monument was inaugurated in Overloon to the American 7th Armored Division. It is located just outside the main entrance to the Liberty Park museum. The monument consists of a brick structure holding two plaques. On one side a plaque depicts a Sherman tank over the words “U.S. 7th Armored Division”. On the other side a plaque reads:
OCTOBER 1944
IN MEMORY
of the soldiers of the
US 7th Armored Division
who gave their lives during
the liberation of Overloon
TER HERINNERING AAN
de soldaten van de
7e Amerikaanse Pantserdivisie
die hun leven gaven tijdens
de bevrijding van Overloon |
On 8 October 2011 a Sherman tank was added to the memorial, just beside and facing the brick monument.

This Sherman was recovered from an artillery shooting range at Oldebroek early in 2010; it would have originally been provided to the Dutch Army under post-war MDAP arrangements. It was transported to a workshop in Overloon in July 2010 when restoration began. Its interior parts were removed, along with large amounts of sand and some original artefacts such as a cigarette lighter. It was also changed from the M4A1E9 configuration in which it was recovered (but which is a type that did not fight at Overloon) into a standard M4A1. It was then sandblasted and had the firing range damage fixed. Missing parts were replaced including the gun barrel, its rubber chevron tracks were refitted, and it was finally painted ready for display on its concrete base. It has been named ‘Able Abe’ after a Sherman of 7th Armored Division that was disabled during the battle of Overloon in 1944 and was left behind on that spot until approximately 1947.

This Cromwell Mark IVF was put out of action by a direct hit at the rear during the final attack on Overloon. The shot set fire to the engine and this in turn resulted in the ammunition exploding. Its suspension is damaged and it is missing its original tracks. This tank had been used by a unit of the British 79th Armoured Division. “A” and “C” squadrons of the Westminster Dragoons and 617 Squadron Royal Engineers were joined in support of the British 3rd Infantry Division and the 6th Guards Armoured Division. This tank was one of the original vehicles displayed outside in the museum park. During restoration it was fitted with tracks from an FV432 armoured personnel carrier (source: T. Royall).

This Mark V Churchill plus “Tiger”, “Jaguar” and “Rook” made up the four tanks of Squadron Headquarters, Number 2 Squadron, 4th Battalion Coldstream Guards. This battalion took part in the final attack on Overloon. On 12 October 1944 this tank ran into a minefield on one of the British attack routes and had its underside impacted. It is now missing its belly plate and some of the wheel stations on the left side.
Two crewmen in the turret, R. Silman and G. Wright, were killed when the mine exploded. The driver of the tank, Bob Dare, was lightly wounded and managed just in time to help the remaining two crew members, who were seriously wounded, to get out of the tank. They were the bow gunner, J. Dare, and the commander, J. Garner. Bob Dare returned regularly to the museum after the war to commemorate his fallen comrades; in January 2007 he died at the age of 82. (Source: Pantser.net).

Two examples of the Renault FT were purchased in 1927 by the Netherlands Army for trials and testing of tanks on Dutch soil. This included a test at The Hague on 12 May 1927 (source: Tanks!). One ended its career in the Dutch army in 1939 at the Ripperda barracks in Haarlem as a gate monument, with its engine removed; the Germans might however have replaced the engine and used it for airfield security (source: Landships Forum). This machine-gun armed Renault FT was used by the Germans for guarding services and was left behind on Volkel Airfield. It was restored in 1974/75 by Dutch Army volunteers. It has been suggested that it is an original Dutch Renault FT, however it does not appear to match contemporary photographs in a number of ways, in particular it has its manufacturer’s plate on the left track frame (the same side as the lifting jack) whereas the Dutch vehicles had it on the right track frame (the same side as the exhaust).
Volkel Airfield, Nachtlandeplatz Volkel, was constructed by the Luftwaffe as a diversion airfield for fighter aircraft after the occupation of the Netherlands by Germany in 1940. Later during the war, in 1943, the airfield was turned into an operational Luftwaffe base, and renamed Fliegerhorst Volkel. It was home to the 5e Zerstörer Gruppe operating the Junkers Ju 88, and the 3e Gruppe Jagdgeschwader 7 operating the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter aircraft. A second jet engined aircraft, the Arado Ar 234 Bomber, landed in the morning of August 30, 1944, and flew bombing missions out of Volkel for about a week. V-1 flying bombs were also fired from Volkel. To defend the base against aerial attacks, the Germans had installed flak guns, but it was still bombed extensively. Attacks in 1944 in relation to Operation Market Garden caused such extensive damage to the airport that it could no longer be used by the Luftwaffe. When later that year the south of the Netherlands was liberated, the Royal Air Force took control of the airfield. (Source: Wikipedia).

This Sexton was one of those in service with the British and Canadian divisions in 21st Army Group in June 1944 just after the Normandy Landings, replacing the M7 Priests. It came from a museum at Delfzijl which closed in around 1976, and was one of the original vehicles displayed outside in the museum park. It was just a rusted hulk, missing its gun and other parts, but has been fully restored (though its tracks are on backwards). It is now displayed under a camouflage net as part of a tableau.
