On Saturday 14 April 1945, the Germans slowly withdraw from Sneek. To prevent the German ammunition stocks from falling into the hands of the Allies, the Germans decided to set fire to the monumental Waaggebouw on the corner of Marktstraat and Leeuwenburg.
On April 15, 1945, the residents of Sneek heard the popping, hissing and booming of exploding ammunition for half an hour. Many people dare to go out on the street again and walk towards the fire. To guarantee the safety of the residents, the Internal Forces of Sneek summons the residents to return home and wait for the liberation at home. There is also a rumor that the Germans are on their way from Lemmer.
In the evening, the first patrol of the French-Canadian regiment de La Chaudière enters the city with armored vehicles. Fortunately, they don't have to use it, because the Germans have left the city. The liberation of Sneek is a fact!

Gedicht: Kwaststrepen op linnendook | Anske Smit
KWASTSTREPEN OP LINNENDOOK
Skreppe, klauwe, treeride
Streekride, út it eend sotte.
De klankkleur fan
In earste slach fan in lik bôrn
Efter in stultjen of slide.
Om de echte streek
Te pakjen te kriien.
Jûnge stylisten
Beworkje it iis
As kwaststreepen
Op in linnendook.
Priis of preemje
Blieuwt tûzjoers de fraich.
Warbere wintermannen
Mei weargles en
Skoewboarden yn tou.
Baske glodde baentjes
Op it Yselmor,
Yn de haivenkom,
De Sylroede of de Yndyk.
Pûiermôlken
So no en den.
Ride, beljeie op
Befôrzen iikonisje
Raffeliche ynhammen.
Stikjes iis útseeke
Tróch maanse earstelingen.
Yn in feaniche
Earste en twadde plasse
Fan de Stoenckerne,
Wur yn it förjier bremstiche,
Leepen, skreesen en teitjes
Tredje yn it blaue gers.
