On 12 September 1944: the Americans moved in and liberate the first Limburg Dutch.
On 14 September 1944: Maastricht was liberated.
Then they devised a plan to use the rivers invade Germany. On the way over there, they would free other places.
From 17 to 25 September 1944: The battle of Arnhem, wich was won by the Germans.
Then the Americans went to Zealand, there again to continue the liberation. By bombarding the fight was stopped.

When the southern Netherlands was liberated from the northern turn.
It was not until the spring of 1945, after the famine.
On 23 March 1945: Americans fighting Germans in order to liberate the north.
Canadians helped by those who could not fight off debts.
The Allies tried to quickly expand the playing fields.
The Germans who were left were old men and young boys who were not good care.
