The Waalsdorpervlakte (in Dutch; Flemish pronounced as /ʋaːlzdɔrpərˈvlɑktə/) is an open place in the dune area "Meijendel" (The Hague, Netherlands), where between 250 and 280 members of the Dutch resistance were killed by the Germans during World War II.[1] After the liberation of the Netherlands, Nazi collaborators were executed at the site.[1] Anton Mussert, the leader of National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands, was executed here on 7 May 1946.[2]
It is one of the main locations where on 4 May "Remembrance of the Dead", a yearly commemoration of victims of World War II and other victims of war, is held.[3]
