Unique in the world
In May 2021, a special transport arrived at Overloon War Museum from Glabbeek in Belgium. A British Lancaster bomber that crashed in 1945 was brought in in more than 2000 pieces of wreckage, large and small. On Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 June, the remains of this Lancaster NN775 were placed on a new ramp in the military hall of the museum. This will make the device visible to a large audience.
Laying the wreckage was a big job. Not only because it consists of more than 2000 pieces, but also because it was a device 31 meters wide and 21 meters long. Which part belongs where and how to start? The Plane Hunters Recovery team completed the airplane puzzle in two days. This team was also involved in the excavations of the device in 2016.
To ensure that this mega job runs smoothly and smoothly, the employees and volunteers of the Overloon War Museum have cut and stapled to make the silhouette of the aircraft visible on the ramp with rubber mats. This ensured that the shelves of the aircraft knew exactly where which piece of wreckage was. In addition, the anti-slip layer on the mats ensures that the wreckage remains in place.
The aircraft wreckage has been given on permanent loan to Overloon War Museum by the Municipality of Glabbeek. The remains of the aircraft are exhibited with the nose of the aircraft down. This makes the silhouette of the device easy to recognize for the public. Under the sloping roof, space is provided for an exhibition about the Air War and a special film that will be devoted to 'freedom'.
Lancaster NN775
On March 5, 1945, the NN775 crashed into a swampy meadow in Bunsbeek, Belgium. The aircraft was on its way back from Gelsenkirchen, where it was carrying out an attack on a benzene refinery, when it was hit by German anti-aircraft fire. It crashed and disappeared meters underground. The seven occupants were killed. The device was only excavated in 2016. Three bodies of crew members were also recovered during that excavation. They were given a final resting place at the English cemetery near Leuven.
By making the aircraft visible to a large audience, the story of the crew is further told and their names are not forgotten.
Unique in the world!
Nowhere in the world is an aircraft exhibited in this way. A beautiful tribute to the seven crew members of this Lancaster NN775.
The Overloon War Museum (Dutch: Oorlogsmuseum Overloon) is located in Overloon, Netherlands.
The museum was opened on May 25, 1946 as the National War and Resistance Museum, making it one of the oldest museums in Europe dedicated to the Second World War. The museum is located on the site of the Battle of Overloon, a World War II tank and infantry battle between Allied and German forces that occurred in September and October 1944, in the aftermath of Operation Market Garden.
The museum is set in 14 hectares of woodland and is the largest of its kind in the Netherlands. The museum receives approximately 120,000 visitors annually.
After the Battle of Overloon, an enormous amount of war materiel, including tanks and other vehicles, was left behind on the battlefield. Overloner Harry van Daal was so shocked by the events that he proposed keeping the battlefield intact and turning it into a museum. On May 25, 1946, the National War and Resistance Museum was opened by British General Whistler (1898-1963), commander of the 11th British Armored Division and the 3rd British Infantry Division that had conquered Overloon.
The museum has a park of approximately 1000 by 500 m, making it one of the largest museums in the Netherlands, measured in terms of land area.

Stridsvagn 103
Swedish cold war main battle tank
The Stridsvagn 103 (Strv 103), also known as the S-Tank, is a Swedish post-WWII main battle tank. It is known for its unconventional design: it is turretless with a fixed gun traversed by engaging the tracks and elevated by adjusting the hull suspension. While turretless armoured fighting vehicles are usually classified as assault guns or tank destroyers, despite its unique gun layingprocess, the Strv 103 is considered a tank because its designated combat role matched those of other tanks within contemporary Swedish doctrine. It is the only mass-produced tank since World War II to dispense with a turret.
The Strv 103 was designed and manufactured in Sweden. It was developed in the 1950s and was the first main battle tank to use a turbine engine. The result was a very low-profile design with an emphasis on survivability and heightened crew protection level. Strv 103s formed a major portion of the Swedish armoured forces from the 1960s to the 1990s

Beside the museum there is an original soldiers croft from late 19th century with an accompanying exhibition, The Soldier and the Croft. An exhibition about the history of the local Regiment (Södermanland regiment) tell the story from 14thcentury until 2005 when the regiment was closed.
