John Eyking and Nazi Occupied Netherlands

: It's, you don't need to be worried about some character running around with a gun, reflects Eyking, according to CTV. It that type of fear Eyking and his fellow countrymen and women lived with for five years, beginning in 1944 when the Germans implemented a hunger plan, to ensure Germans were given priority to food supplies and the Dutch were left to starve. John Eyking lived in the Nazi occupied Netherlands during the Second World War and was there 70 years ago, when the Nazis surrendered to Canadian troops and his country was liberated. We use to hide our animals every night, recalls Eyking. During the war, Eyking endured hunger and terror. The community would put their animals in one barn and a couple of young men with a pitch fork would defend them, because people would steal and they would have a right to do it.
