@@ankeslegers2168 Jazeker. Om welk gebouw gaat het?

@@Rick88888888 het gaat om het peapark in Helmond. Het huis liet Piet de Wit bouwen voor zijn vrouw het stond er "maar" 14 jaar waarvan de laatste 2 jaar onbewoond, van 1914 tot 1928, er zit een hele historie achter. Ik kan helaas geen foto toevoegen maar misschien kunt u op google foto's bekijken, er zijn geen bewegende beelden van voor zover bekend, maar het lijkt me sterk aangezien de grote van het huis dat het nooit gefilmd is...vandaar dat ik u hierover contacteer. Er is ook een kort filmpje over helmond toen koningin wilhelmina helmond bezocht link zal ik zo proberen toe te voegen

I live there, most of the buildings and such are still here. we have a monument to thank the canadian army here to remember your late Father and buddies. With this movie and everyday I cycle in this very town, i love the historic buildings and roadways. (sadly some iconic streets or buildings did get replaced, but most is intact, not much got damages during the war. in contrast to the next real city Deventer, wich had big impact)

Hi Andy... My grandfather was b. in Canada-Ontario. I have his naturalization papers from I believe the early 40’s maybe later 40’s but do know he had been making several visits via boat crossing with family, even as a young child. I guess they could do some kind of border crossing as I was doing a little Ancestry on this and this was years ago. The 1st trip him being 7 and with parents that did have kinfolk in Michigan. I could not find any other trips in between, however some of my older cousins who have passed on now & lived very close to my grandmother many miles from where I grew up, said my grandmother told them that on the night they married which was in Illinois, that somehow he was taken into custody & transferred back into canada. So evidently the date of marriage was followed by him getting his Citizenship Papers that I do have. There is a lot of false information as most of us know on some of theses ancestry pages we sign up & pay for, as some relatives post heresay without documentation or records! I’m not one of those that do that. I believe things to be accurate only if there is a legitimate record or document to prove so. So getting back to the point, those older 1st cousins of mine that have passed now, we’re telling me that my grandfather fought in the war. My question to them was did he serve after getting into the US or was this while still in Canada. They couldn’t answer except that he served the/a war. I asked if there was any documentation of it or photos of him while in service. Surely there had to be photos somewhere but they each said not that I know of. I just always heard growing up that he served. So I then researched he US Archives & according to his age at death in the 70’s, it would of placed him in right at WW2, but I could find nothing on him in any branch of service here. I then got in touch with my mother’s oldest living sister- a direct daughter to them who was living at that time & she stated that yes, he did fight in the war. My 1st question to her was can you tell me which war & branch, years. Etc.. to which she also said I can only tell you he served while living in Canada just before becoming a naturized citizen of the US. Now this Aunt was born here in the US in around 1929, so therein lies a puzzle to me. Is there anyway you could look him up if you have any familiarity with servicemen in Canada. I can say he was b. In 1907, so perhaps an earlier war that Canada was in. I just found it strange that there were no enlisted pictures or documentation anywhere, within the older children here in the US and at that time I was onto this trail like a coon hound. I didn’t know who or how to contact the proper people or keepers of records to search him out in Canada though. It just doesn’t make sense to me, although even though all of those 1st norm children, including my very own mother who passed at 87 two years ago (also a 1st lineage child) would also say as I recall growing up that her father (my Grandfather served in the war). I just simply found out in the end it was just not best to bring it up because I would always state, there has to be photos or especially records at least if he fought here in the US as I did have access to war records & research & in putting his name in according to his birthdate & when he became around 18 years of age & forward... no records of his name was shown anywhere. Perhaps you can lead me to the proper sources there that I could contact?

maybe your father is in this video, is maked in the year 2015 , this is a parade of canadian war veterans

@@willibrordusa.vanderweide2962 We in Apeldoorn give the liberators a warm welcome every year.

I remember the Canadian soldiers who liberated Amsterdam in 1945 ! I was 9 then. I love Canadians ! I married one later though he became an American citizen after the war. I left Holland for him at 39. It warms my heart to see this 💕🌷

Just like you have no idea that 100 years later someone will find your stupid comment on a 200 year old video.

I bet you didn't see their teeth.

@@tygobermind3640 Yes, I was referring to nature and not to orthodontists & modern dental care. Picture Edvard Munch's 'Scream'; that was his vision of nature's reaction to what was in the process happening to it.

@@ClariceAust There is still plenty of nature to be found. Unless you want to live in a big city, if that is your choice.

@@tygobermind3640 Yes, but I'm 65 yrs old now & when I was young there were so many areas of wilderness in the world. Many of the beaches here in Australia, for instance, once only know to some surfers in the 70's, are now all 'built out' with affluent houses. I feel for the animals in particular. Thanks for your sentiments, though.

its film not vhs

Yeah till those days it was 'vnot done' to laugh on pictures, seemed these people didn't really care, also happy and having fun.

When they were looking to the camera they didn't know they would be looking to the future.

si amigo ,es como si fuera ahora.

I was just thinking that! It made my eyes teared up 😢

Where do you come from?

They where kind for people they know, but what if you had a other religion or skin colour of just a foreigner from a other European country?

They had their times and we have ours. We can travel through space but not through time.. .however, if you see the people smiling and waving to the camera I get sentimental and wave back, as if there is real contact between us. You love those people although you never met them. Fellows in time. It is a strange phenomenon that poverty and simplicity bind people together more strongly. times were more rough, uncertainty in life much bigger, but people were full of life. The contact with technology through zoom, twitter and consorts is so artificial. But it is good to see that through Corona young people seem to realise this again and want to meet, embrace and see each other again. A life without deep social contact is a poor life, technology as replacement of real contact is a dead end.

Spanish flu was just starting. You must be joking.

My pleasure!

The elite satanic they build cities with tall building in order to bring all people into one city to slave them we are living in cage cities and matrix illusion . The best is to live country yard now days people began to live bigger cities to country yard

you know that is still possible, just go to a poor country, and it s similar to this, i like to go to philippines , on some islands cars are rare, only some tricycles and motors, not to much people very nice close to the nature, no body is in rush

@@banksyc473 Or something that rhymes with that.

I've seen pictures of my grandfather in such dresscode, in 1930's.

Ik heb zelf op de Veluwe gewoond en hou van het. Ik vind het op één na het mooiste gebied van Nederland. Zuid-Limburg is voor mij het mooiste gebied van Nederland.

Blijven voor mij toch echt de wadden

@@demi3115 Veel van nederland is mooi, Kom zelf uit de duinen van Haarlem, woon nu in apeldoorn, wauw, echt zoveel mooi overal. hou van de zee, de veluwe, de wadden lopen, de schapen daar (dekbed van Texelse wol). Limburg is ook prachtig. enig wat ik minder cool vind is die laagvliegende vliegtuigen overal. (maar schiphol zelf is weer heel gaaf)

ja een klasse-maatschappij we mochten voor het eerst meedoen met stemmen bij verkiezingen dezelde partijen als toen zijn nog steeds aan de macht maar maakt niet uit toen leek het heel wat en kinderarbeid tot 12 jaar was net afgeschaft WW1 was net afgelopen de twintiger jaren tot begon het leuk te worden

Yes!

More like a world you've never seen or had any idea existed. This modern world is so different now; the pace is furious compared to the past.

Me too, I'm 47.

They have just started!

You are right

Depressing...

This is also were most of the tax bills come from..

@@Hakkeholt yes, both true. Old Centraal beheer building is awesome, yet sadly empty (they moved to a new building) hope the local goverment makes something out of it. The dutch Tax office computers and programming is happening here, they even still program in Cobol XD (lots of Java too, cobol is still widely used in the financial sector)

Dont tell anyone, or the Randstad might move here, :P

Yes, a yesterday v today comparison of the same street, park, house, etc.

i live very very close to almost all of these locations, so i might just do it.

@@earr2921 Me too :D also such nice places most still excist

Most people are so demoralized they will see it and claim 'nothing has changed' even though anyone with a shred of sense will see the change.

@@vk6832 weird comment, of course things have changed. Beautiful buildings are demolished around here, parks changed, roads paved. Even modern parts added to older buildings. But, compared to other cities that have seen the bad side of the war, more buildings and structures remained.
