Exhibition Air War 1939-1945
In September 2010, the Foundation Air War 1939-1945 opened the permanent exhibition. The numerous items that remain from aircraft crashes in and around Nederweert are the silent witnesses of the local air war. It was very intense here because the region was within the Kammhuber line. The line ran from Denmark over eastern Netherlands and Belgium to Switzerland and was intended to protect Germany from Allied air attacks through an extensive radar and alarm system. In connection with this, the line was also equipped with numerous searchlights and locations where night fighters were ready to engage in battle in case of an alert. During the occupation years, dozens of Allied bombers and German fighters crashed in this area. Remnants of this wartime violence are still being found, preserved and kept.
