Monument

On June 15, 1943, an explosion took place in one of the meadows at the Molenschut. Three young people from Leenden were killed. In the evening of 14 June, Allied bombers flew over, presumably chased by German fighters. One of the planes, which was on fire, dropped its bomb load. It concerned incendiary bombs and a high-explosive bomb. The latter had not exploded but had a crack through which the explosive was visible. In the morning of June 15, the bomb exploded when the young people of Leenden were there.
