In the animations only Canadian flags were used. However, British soldiers were involved as well. Within the portrayed scenery, some soldiers were American uniforms. However, no Americans were involved in the battle at Otterlo. Operation Cleanser is also called Operation Dutch Cleanser The german counterassault (in an attempt to break the pocket) on Hardewijk was successful and the Germans involved at this action escaped across the water. The assault on Barneveld was stopped. Because the military intelligence of the western allies completely missed the gathering troops at Hoenderloo, the German assault on Otterlo was a big surprise. Some German troops did break through Otterlo and were able to reach the German headquarters at Rhenen The named lieutenant Mackinnon, who was heavily injured during the attack at 15th April, was later retrieved by a medic (with permission of the Germans!). Three days later he succumbed to his wounds. Although the Otterlo civilian resistance actually called to Barneveld during the night of the big attack, it is unclear if this had any effect on the outcome of the battle. The allies won the battle because of the assistance that had arrived from the Veluwe. In addition, it is very likely that the HQ at Otterlo already made contact with Barneveld by themselves. During the battles at the night of 17th April, more civilians were injured. However, none of them lost their live thanks to a brave Dutch red cross medic who ran through the village to help. The German victims whose names are known, have been buried at a central German graveyard in the Netherlands. However, these were only adults. It is unclear where the teenage victims have been left, but both eye witness accounts and war correspondence of journalists who arrived in Otterlo in the morning of 17th of April all make notice of the amount of teenage victims. In addition, there was also a mass grave in Otterlo itself (until 1949) with 24 unidentified bodies. Regarding the amount of German casualities, at least 61 corpses are known (see previous remark). However, the war diary regiments, eye witness accounts and war correspondence make mention of many more deaths; up to 400. These numbers have been discussed with local amateur-historian. We concluded 200 deaths to be a reasonable amount, based on the written accounts.   / mennojdevries
