Field hospital
The Velvet Cave also served as a field hospital for the American soldiers.
Following liberation, several American soldiers visited the Velvet Cave during their non-duty hours.
Wiel van Acker, a guide at the time, has made a series of silhouettes of soldiers and a memorial to a fallen soldier.
During the tour, which lasts around 50 minutes, the guide will discuss all the highlights in the Velvet Cave related to this theme.
