Witteberg Train Sabotage Monument

Highlight • Monument

Next to the cycle path on the Witteberg is a monument that commemorates a train sabotage on the night of 9 to 10 June 1944. In order to prevent German train transports after the successful landing of Normandy, the resistance movement "The Secret Army" was ordered to country to blow up railroad bridges and sabotage railroads. On the night of 9 June, resistance fighters at the railway crossing on the Witteberg loosened the bolts of two rails, causing the locomotive, tender and wagons of a German train transport to derail.
The RAF Memorial Hamont-Achel working group, which organizes the annual commemorations at the chapel of the Haart in Hamont and on the Witteberg, came into possession of a bumper of the sabotaged train via Tonny Van Otterdijk. His father Jaak, from the Ven, used the train bumper as a… anvil for many years.
