Texel War Stories

Join guide Gelein Jansen on this interesting excursion. Texel was the last battleground in Europe in World War II 80 years ago, due to the Georgian Uprising. The group of Georgians who worked for the German occupiers on Texel revolted at the end of World War II. They turned against the Germans with bloody consequences. Only 15 days after the national liberation, on May 20, was the war over on Texel. During this excursion, Gelein will take you back in time. shortened content: Join guide Gelein Jansen on this interesting excursion.
