Film on the Surrender of IJmuiden

Various films show life in Velsen after the capitulation. The quartering og the German solfiers in the municipality of Velsen. How the residents deal with the limited resources available in their daily lives. War damage in IJmuiden in particular, by bombardements and by the Germans themselves to get a clear field of fire. Aerial shots of the harbour area with the bunkers. The surrender to the Canadians that took place on 8 May 1945.

The film will be shown continuously and it is possible to join continuously. The film lasts approximately 1 hour and is shown in the rear space of the bunker that more of less still has its original character. Here you can clearly see the structural condition.
