- Like The Hague, Rotterdam was liberated on 8 May 1945 from German rule during the Second World War.
The German capitulation is then a fact and the retreat of the German troops begins immediately. The entry of the Canadians leads to delirious joy. Handkerchiefs and flags are waved and flowers and serpentines are thrown.
Although Germany capitulated on May 4, it remained restless in the city until May 8 and the withdrawal of the Germans was chaotic, partly because they did not want to surrender to the Rotterdammers but to the Allies.
On May 7, the German commander has still not capitulated, but commanders of the Interior Forces take up residence in the town hall. The mayor and aldermen of the NSB and some other wrong leaders are arrested.
Rotterdam suffered like no other city during this war. Already at the beginning of the war, the old center was almost completely bombed by the Germans on 14 May 1940, with the aim of forcing the Dutch government to capitulate.
In this film, the joy of the people of Rotterdam bursts from the screen. We see the vehicles of the liberators moving through the battered city, cheered by the crowds that have lined up all along the route. A large group of nurses even climbs on the army vehicles and gets carried away in the column of army vehicles.

===========
Evenals Den Haag werd Rotterdam op 8 mei 1945 bevrijd van de Duitse overheersing tijdens de tweede Wereldoorlog.
De Duitse capitulatie is dan echt een feit en de aftocht van de Duitse troepen begint onmiddellijk. Het binnentrekken van de Canadezen leidt tot uitzinnige vreugde. Er wordt met zakdoeken en vlaggen gezwaaid en met bloemen en serpentines gegooid.
Alhoewel Duitsland al op 4 Mei capituleerde bleef het tot 8 mei onrustig in de stad en verliep de terugtrekking van de Duitsers chaotisch, mede doordat zij zich niet aan de Rotterdammers wilden overgeven maar aan de geallieerden.
Op 7 mei heeft de Duitse commandant nog steeds niet gecapituleerd, maar commandanten van de Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten nemen hun intrek in het stadhuis. De burgemeester en wethouders van de NSB en enkele andere foute kopstukken worden gearresteerd.
Als geen andere stad heeft Rotterdam het heel zwaar te verduren gehad tijdens deze oorlog. Al aan het begin van de oorlog werd het oude centrum op 10 mei 1940 vrijwel volledig platgebombardeerd door de Duitsers, met als doel de Nederlandse regering tot capitulatie te dwingen.
In deze film spat de vreugde van de Rotterdammers van het scherm. Wij zien de voertuigen van de bevrijders door de gehavende stad trekken, luid toegejuicht door de menigte die zich overal langs de route heeft opgesteld. Een grote groep verpleegsters klimt zelfs op de legervoertuigen en laat zich meevoeren in de colonne.

This is A.I. colorized footage plus the use of the latest A.I. video enhancer software. I must admit that the colorizer needs improvement as regards colorizing large groups of people. It is 4 years since its maker released this software (and still no white smoke)...
PS: I know the music is a bit over-the-top, but it was the best I could find with the right duration. Just turn down the volume if you don't like it.
REAL QUALITY VIDEO...........................HUGE THANKS////////////////////////////////////////
Die lege binnenstad doet nog steeds pijn om naar te kijken...
Prachtig beeld Rick! Het doet mij deugd om de bevrijding van Rotterdam te zien, helemaal in kleur!
I wish my father was here to see this.
Thank you for your good work.
You're very welcome
Tomorrow will be the last in this serie. It will be about the liberation of Amsterdam. This series thus ends on 5th of May, the national Dutch liberation day in the Netherlands.
Bravo!
Mijn oma woonde in Rotterdam als klein meisje met haar moeder, vader was overleden. Toen ze hoorden op de radio dat Nederland had gecapituleerd en de Duitsers kwamen, kwam de oude Joodse buurman langs. Hij had een kunstwerk voor mijn oma en overgrootmoeder gemaakt met hun foto’s erin. Om hem te herinneren zei hij. Twee dagen later werd de man opgehaald en is nooit meer terug gekomen. Het kunstwerkje hebben we nog steeds in huis.
Thank you for presenting this so well. My late Father was with the Toronto Scottish (MG) Regiment and their Tactical Group Number was 64!! Many of the vehicles shown in the film had the #64 on the front fender but I was not able to ID the cap badge as TorScots. My Father was the driver of the Universal Carrier (B Company, 5th Platoon). Cheers.
Not to be missed in all this. Canada in 1945 only had a population of 12 million people and had been a country for 78 years (still a child compared to it's European cousins). Yet, it was able to field a large army, made up of volunteers, who travelled across the ocean and contributed significantly to the liberation of Europe. Clearly punching way above it's weight.
We wiill not forget. My parents told me about these great soldiers.
@@saskiavisser1279 Thank you Saskia, for remembering.
Canada always punches way above its weight.
When North America needed early warning radars across northern Canada during the Cold War there was no question Canada eagerly joined in with the USA. Fantastic cooperation between neighbors at a dangerous time.
🇨🇦 🍁 🇳🇱.
*_You can feel the elation with the Dutch people, what a wonderful relief and utter joy for them all..._*
65yr old canadian and this is the first I have seen this type of footage. Been to Vimy and Juno.
As a boy in the 50 and all my life I had a great interest in this kind of film, but they were just history films .. but you have now made them really put life into all those people, brought them back to life as they were all those years ago, I know most of the thees places having spent 14 years as a Brit soldier in Germany with the British Army on the Rhine (BAOR) in Bielefeld, Celle, Munster, Osnabruck, served with the Dutch Army, traveled to the UK from Rotterdam, Vlissingen,, we used to drive over the border to Holland most weekends, , and we had a great time , one again Thank you
My pleasure!
Great video Rick, beautiful work, again amazing footage, l love seeing all the beautiful smiling faces and joy👌👍😀
Glad you enjoyed it
My grandmother must have been in that crowd, aged 16 and about to meet her future husband my British grandfather!
What a beautiful piece of history. I have never seen such joyous people.
Great video! I like the job you made on this video and on the oders. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Fantastische beelden, erg mooi werk. Super bedankt!
❣🎶🎬🎞❤I love this new 4k software. Amazing how great the footage looks now.
The guy in your thumbnail and at 1:04 reminds me of Bob Hope and the older gentleman and young lady at 0:58 have the greatest smiles. Yes, joy does burst on the screen. Fantastic video & great, fitting music. Great work, again, Rick!!
Thanks Patti. Yesterday I spent over 3 hours trying to find suitable music! I wanted cheerful, no too bombastic music for this video. The problem also was that it has to be copyright-free and of the right length. After a long search I was so exhausted of having to listen to hundreds of pieces of music and nearly gave it up.
Luckily I suddenly found this music. It is a bit over-the-top but the best I could find.
Thank you for this movie. I am still ashamed of all the things that german people did in the war. All i can say: nooit meer.. I hope we can be good neighbors for ever. Like it is today. Groetjes uit westfalie, duitsland.
💙
More than 7,600 Canadian Army soldiers died in the liberation of the Netherlands.
We will not forget.....
DESDE CHILE, NO OLVIDEN EL PASADO Y NO ABANDONEN A UCRANIA, A VECES LA HISTORIA SE REPITE
In een woord geweldig! Dankjewel Rick!
Graag gedaan
There is to this day a great appreciation to the Canadians on the part of the Dutch for liberating them from the Nazis.
It wasn't only the Canadians who liberated the Netherlands. What about the British troops who also fought and died in the liberation of the Netherlands. Why no mention of them?
@@lorddaver5729 Splitting hairs here are we? Canadian forces comprised the majority of the troops liberating the Netherlands and the Dutch Royal Family were sheltered in exile in Ottawa for the duration of WWII. The Dutch People are grateful to this day for the efforts of the Canadians in their behalf against the Nazi's. Why do you feel the need to nitpick?
Quite incredible to think you're looking at empty fields dead in the centre of the city, not some outskirt... It would be years before it would all be filled up. Even my mother (1955) can remember the open spaces in the centre in front of the central station. There was even a small park with deer near Hofplein.
The only beautiful day in Rotterdam since the beginning of the war.
Those rotturdammurs and the liberators are the people that made Rotterdam great again.
Thinking about the Rotterdam that was destroyed by the nazis still hurts.
I slow all your videos captivated by the expressions of long ago peoples. Here, I look for my mam's face/body knowing she is unlikely to be there. A liberating soldier told her while holding something in his outstretched hands, " a bar of soap for a kiss?" She grabbed it and ran away.
Oh, I laughed out loud, I really did! Of course, the liberating soldier was taking a liberty. He was quite definitely n o t a gentleman...
@@emilybarlaston Awe thanks.
Jeetje wat mooi gedaan, en mooie muziek keuze. Indrukwekkende beelden.
Greetings from Ireland..thank you for taking the trubble to make and show this interesting film
During world war two Rotterdam is bombed dozens of times but only one time by the Germans, the rest was by the allies.
Germans destroyed Rotterdam.
what kind of shampoo or conditioner Dutch using, their hair were flawless. RIP European, Canadian, American, Aussie and Brazil freedom fighters.
It's not the shampoo, my grandmother told me at the end of the war there was nothing at all whatsoever.
No soap, no medicine, no food, no wood, nothing!
In the west of the Netherlands during the "hongerwinter" 20000 people died from hunger.
Dead people where buried in the same coffin where they removed the bottom above the grave because there was no wood so they could use it again.
In houses with wooden floors people removed the wood to keep warm.
And British...
En dan te bedenken dat die één mensenleven geleden is. Dat is eigenlijk gewoon nog niet zo heel lang geleden.
Mooi gedaan man!
Great films and great commentary in English .
Thank you very much
wow Those were my parents A window in time
Strange how well dressed and healthy most people look
And there are still trees in the streets
Never forget.
Yes....
Prachtig. Het oude Blaakstation is te zien, evenals de restanten van de Laurenskerk. Deze kerk werd van de sloop gered door tussenkomst van de heer A.H. himself.
En nu moeten wij als Nederlanders onze Zuid Afrikaanse broeders en Zusters bevrijden 🇾🇪🌷🧀😌 ook met hulp van de Amerikanen, Engelsen en Canadezen! 💪🏻
Lovely!
heeft iemand wel eens gehoord van sillevolle? ik heb een foto van mijn moeder daar op een kar met eten.was dat in rotterdam? mijn oma had een kruideniers winkel in slikkerveer en mijn moeder was 17 in 1945.
Peace always wins!
And they made room for Klaus Schwab
1:48 smoke in the middle of the church looks like a farmer with a horse
We, the people!
1 minuut 5 Prins Bernard look a like😅
Sorry maar Rotterdam werd pas op 14 Mei 1940 gebombardeerd, en niet op 10 Mei.
Inderdaad, foutje bedankt...
@@Rick88888888 Het bombardement begon 10 mei, maar de binnenstad werd weggevaagd op 14 mei

Nee, Rotterdam
