Genetic History: Battle of Overloon

The Battle of Overloon from September 26 to October 14, 1944.

For more than four years, the Second World War had more or less passed over Overloon. But on September 26, 1944, the front reached this village in De Peel. The narrow strip of land that had been liberated during Operation Market Garden between Eindhoven and Arnhem was gradually widened. The advance of the Allied army went well as far as Overloon. The Germans had dug in there to stop the enemy.

On September 30, the Allies launched the attack with the US 7th Armored Division. After 9 days of fierce fighting, the exhausted Americans withdrew and were relieved by British 3rd Infantry commanded by Major General L.C. Whistler.

After a few days of relative peace, during which heavy rainfall had turned Overloon into one large mud pool, all hell broke loose on October 12 at 11 a.m. For an hour and a half the Allies bombarded the German positions with heavy artillery and air raids, over 100,000 shells were fired at German positions. When the village was completely in ruins, the advance of the British began. House by house was conquered at the cost of huge losses. Fierce hand-to-hand combat also took place in the woods. On October 14, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the last stronghold, the church, fell in the village of Overloon. The remaining Germans were captured, Overloon was left behind as a completely destroyed village.
