Woeste Hoeve, Historic memorial site near Apeldoorn, Netherlands.
The hamlet of Woeste Hoeve lies between Apeldoorn and Arnhem, featuring a memorial that commemorates resistance activities during World War II.
On March 6, 1945, Dutch resistance fighters accidentally shot SS General Hanns Rauter during an operation intended to capture a German food transport.
