YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTowards the end of World War II in the Netherlands a group of eight resistance fighters hid in a warehouse of the Twentol Lubricating Oil Industry in Deventer. They wanted to defend one of the bridges over the Overijssel Canal, because they thought the Canadians would use those bridges for their advance. On the night of April 9-10, the resistance fighters got involved in a firefight with German soldiers, causing a fire to break out in the warehouse. Two were killed, one escaped and five were arrested. On April 10, barely an hour before liberation, these five were shot dead behind the slaughterhouse on Snipperlingsdijk. This event is known as the Twentol drama.
