"Veteran Max Wolff has died at the age of 99. He was the last living Dutch veteran of the invasion of Normandy. "The Netherlands loses a courageous and inspiring veteran. His example lives on, our gratitude is eternal," Minister Ruben Brekelmans (Defense) responded on Tuesday. The 18-year-old Wolff came from Arnhem and became a member of the Princess Irene Brigade in June 1944. Shortly afterwards he was loaned to the British Royal Engineers Corps. He worked here as an interpreter and took part in the liberation of the Netherlands. Many of his Jewish relatives were murdered by the Nazis during the war."
