Podcast: Woven in Courage – by David Visser

In April 1945, the city of Groningen became the stage for one of the fiercest urban battles fought on Dutch soil during World War II. Told through the eyes of civilians, resistance members, and the journal of Freddie Visser, Woven in Courage brings listeners into the heart of the chaos—where every doorway hid danger, and every heartbeat carried both fear and hope.

Experience the Canadian 2nd Infantry Division’s push through narrow streets and burning homes. Hear how ordinary citizens risked everything to help their liberators. And feel what it meant to stand inside a city caught between destruction and freedom.

This is not a story of armies alone—it’s a story of humanity. Of courage when the world collapses, of quiet acts of mercy amid the smoke, and of the true cost of liberation. A sound-rich journey that reminds us freedom is never free—and that sometimes, bravery is as simple as staying alive.

🎙️ Written and narrated by David Visser. Based on the wartime journals of Freddie Visser and eyewitness accounts from the Battle of Groningen.
