Rick you have done a amazing job I have not seen scenes like these awesome job on the ww2 liberation will you be doing any other combat clip restoration It would look amazing anyway
All the best and good luck with the rest absolutely fantastic

Why are there's so many youngsters on those trucks?

Very moving.

Everyone looks near starving.

Vielen Dank für diesen wunderbaren Film 🎉

Everyone came ot to celebrate dressed in their Sunday best.

AMSTERSLAAG LIBERATED! YAZOOEY!!!

Thanks so much for this piece of important history

Thanks for uploading this video. My grandfather was with the Canadian army and took part of the liberation of the Netherlands in 1945. He was with the North Shore Regiment. I would not be surprised if he was part of the celebrations in your films.

Anne Frank queria ter vivido esse momento. Infelizmente nesse momento ela já tinha falecido 😢

and that was the moment we really got occupied , now america say JUMP! and the Nederlands jump.

my father was a liberator of the netherlands

Bel video , grazie

Important historical footage and a great day for Holland

And today the dutch are a minority in their own city, terrorized by muslim drug gangs.

I assume many had died or injured during celebration.👍😮

Comparing with the time how it is living in Amsterdam nowadays…, I would rather have spoken German…, FREEDOM IS GONE..!

absolutely love watching these small snippets in time. perspective is so important - thanks for the upload :>)yo

Dank u wel.

It's not really in colour. It is colorised.

15 years later it was invaded again. And it's still occupied. xD

For the people saying that Dutch freedome is gone: Don't forget that the Netherlands was evil itself before the 19th century. And even after that. Helped Americans to destroy Iraq and Afghanistan.

Between September 1944 and May 1945 about 13,000 allied troops lost their lives while fighting in the Netherlands. The British lost about 6,700, the Canadians about 4,000, the Americans 1,135 and the Poles 630.

Beste Rick, weer een geweldige film die ik zeker ga gebruiken in mijn les. Bedankt

How is all that multiculturalism working for you now? At least with Adolph, you would not have that.

Americans said, we destroyed the wrong army.

A glorious day when you are not under sick bastards boots anymore

Otto Frank walked along these streets while mourning for the loss of his family

Thank you very much for share this amazing historical video 💚

Amazing video! My grandmother (who is still thriving at 92 today) is riding one of these trucks. It’s exactly how she described it to be. Fascinating. She was very emotional when I showed her your video. Thank you

mooi om geschiedenis in kleur te beleven, dank voor al jou inzet hiervoor! elke keer weer mooi om jou werk te bekijken...

The Dutch were Europe's most prolific Jew killers during WW2. The last place on earth any Jew would want to be during WW2 was Holland. Look at how they hunted and murdered Anne Frank, a young innocent girl. They did that over and over and over and over to Men, Women, Children, Old People...

Worse than Germany.

Steeds vaker (87 jaar) denk ik aan die geweldige dag op de Berlagebrug. Met Albert Euwe <Wim Janssen de Boxjes enz.... Onvergetelijk, maar ook tranen...

Thank you so much Rick88888888

Thank you. All those souls joyously celebrating their liberation from tyranny and oppression. Let’s hope that soon applies to those currently in conflict. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thank you boys !

The Dutch have NEVER forgotten what Canadian troops did to free their country and to this day they send 20,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa for the annual spring planting.

Lots of Happy People

Vraag: Tegenwoordig laten Nederlanders nooit een kans voorbijgaan om Amerikanen te beschimpen. Amerikanen altijd denigreren. WAAROM???? Ernstig.
Het spijt me dat ons bloed werd gegeven voor jouw vrijheid.

its a shame though, so few of the NSB members were ever punished, one o f the worst escaped to Germany and the Germans, post war, refused to extradite. Almost none of the jew hunters who worked for the nazis were punished. and, to add insult to injury, whe the few dutch jews who surived Bergen Belsen (only 18%....the lowest rate in western europe) the rigidly protestand dutch govt charged them BACK real estate taxes for their time on vacation in Germany, and refused any calls to reason or fairness.

Danke vel! Thank you!

Interesting scenes. I've visited Holland several times. I visited Anne Frank House on one occasion. I found that it brought up many emotions sad horrified angry but also inspired by them and their helpers at their bravery and fortitude. It's shame those in the annex (bar Otto) did not live to see these wonderful scenes. Thanks Rick.

Very moving film, I was there when the Canadian veterans visited Amsterdam in 1975, also entering via the Berlage bridge.
One mistake in the commentary: the Rivierenlaan is not the present Vrijheidslaan, but is now the President Kennedylaan (laan is the Dutch word for avenue).

A totally terrific video. I thank you for your hard work and creativity. This video makes me very proud to be Canadian.
