Dutch polder -
These Dutch group shelters were intended as shelter for shelling and bombing, if the trenches between the shelters did not offer enough coverage. The principle was based on the way of fighting in the First World War. The bunkers were part of the Vesting Holland.
A few dozen group shelters (type 1 of part II of the VIS) were built between February and May 1940. Because of the rush in delivery, these bunkers are smaller than, for example, the New Dutch Water Line.
These personnel bunkers were called 'Pyramids' by the Germans because of the shape of the bunker.
Steam engine driven saw machine. A steam engine uses a heavy flywheel to drive a huge belt that supplies machine power to a sawing machine connected further away. Thick tree trunks quickly turn into beams in the sawing machine, a somewhat smaller steam crane brings in new trees to be sawn.
An entire undertaking with enormously heavy machines that require a great deal of skill and an eye for safety from the drivers....

The traditional Christmas tree burning in Hellevoetsluis is always a very nice event. It starts with the Christmas tree hunt for the children to earn lottery tickets. The municipality as an organizer collects about 1000 Christmas trees that are burned as a large fire under the supervision of the fire brigade on the Zuidfront or Land van Paling. It attracts more and more visitors over the years, children win some nice prizes with the raffle tickets and the atmosphere is very nice.

Steam engines - very impressive!. Many historic steam engines, impressive, large and hissing, and beautifully lit in the evening. Not only were they parked somewhere but they also drove around the old city center which got a lot of attention from the public. The sound of the steam whistles has long been the typical sound for another summer edition of the Vestingdagen event.

Toornwerd
Kerkhof van Toornwerd (Gronings: Doord) met enkele graven uit de 17e- en 18e eeuw. De toren is van 1894.
Op de begraafplaats van Toornwerd ligt het oorlogsgraf van:
Willem Jacob Dethmers
Reserve Kaptein St.III-14- R.A
Geboren 16-3-1901 te Stitswerd
Overleden 25-5-1940 te Dordrecht
Willem Jacob Dethmers Raakte zwaar gewond tijdens twee pogingen in de vroege morgen van 10 mei om de Duitse landingszone - waarbinnen zijn batterij stond opgesteld - aan te vallen en zijn stukken te heroveren. Overleed op 25 mei 1940 in het Gemeenteziekenhuis te Dordrecht aan zijn verwondingen.
Betrokkene had een doorschieting van de buik met darmpenetraties. Is vrijwel zeker aan complicaties door de perforatie van de darmen overleden.
Aan kapitein Dethmers werd bij KB van 6 mei 1946 postuum het Bronzen Kruis toegekend, met als mutatie: "Heeft zich door moedig optreden tegenover den vijand onderscheiden door op 10 mei 1940 aan het hoofd van zijn batterijbezetting met veel moed over open terrein een aanval te doen op zwaar bewapende vijandelijke valschermjagers nabij de Schenkeldijk (Eiland van Dordrecht); is, gewond zijnde, blijven doorvechten, totdat hij ten tweede male, thans dodelijk, werd getroffen."

There is always a cheerful mood, people still wish each other the best, they dance, sing, and children enjoy the grand fire. An experience that will remain in mind from generation to generation as a beautiful memory

Many historic steam engines, impressive, large and hissing, and beautifully lit in the evening. Not only were they parked somewhere but they also drove around the old city center which got a lot of attention from the public. The sound of the steam whistles has long been the typical sound for another summer edition of the Vestingdagen event.

Steam engine driven saw machine. A steam engine uses a heavy flywheel to drive a huge belt that supplies machine power to a sawing machine connected further away. Thick tree trunks quickly turn into beams in the sawing machine, a somewhat smaller steam crane brings in new trees to be sawn.
An entire undertaking with enormously heavy machines that require a great deal of skill and an eye for safety from the drivers....

The traditional Christmas tree burning in Hellevoetsluis is always a very nice event. It starts with the Christmas tree hunt for the children to earn lottery tickets. The municipality as an organizer collects about 1000 Christmas trees that are burned as a large fire under the supervision of the fire brigade on the Zuidfront or Land van Paling. It attracts more and more visitors over the years, children win some nice prizes with the raffle tickets and the atmosphere is very nice. It is actually also the warm welcome of the year, especially with the glow of the fire of 1300 degrees Celsius.
