For langt tid siden, ja faktisk helt tilbage til slutningen af 2. verdenskrig, udspandt der sig et drama på Tversted egnen.
Tyskerne havde som bekendt besat landet og også i Tversted var der mange soldater. Da krigen var forbi skulle soldaterne tilbage til Tyskland. Transporten foregik dengang på hesteryg og der skulle bruges rigtig mange af slagsen for at transportere materiel og soldaterne hjem.
De lokale beboere havde hørt, at tyskerne havde påtænkt sig at hugge alle egnens heste til formålet og man besluttede derfor, at gemme hestene af vejen, så de ikke faldt i fjendens hænder. Efter lang tids diskussion blev man enige om, at det bedste gemmested var hullet i klitterne langt fra alfa vej.
I nattens mulm og mørke fik man gennet alle egnens heste ned i det store hul
i klitterne hvor de blev bevogtet af egnens drenge.
Tyskerne ledte forgæves efter hestene i dagevis, men overalt hvor de kom
frem var der ingen heste. Tverstedboerne morede sig kosteligt og fik grundigt gjort nar af soldaterne. Da de endeligt drog sydpå var det på gåben og med klapsalver og tilråb fra de mange lokale, der fulgte dem på vej.
Se det var en passende afslutning på den dystre periode…
A long time ago, actually dating back to the end of World War 2, a drama ensued in the region of Tversted.
As we know, the Germans had occupied the country, and also in Tversted there were many soldiers. When the war was over, the soldiers had to return to Germany. At that time, horseback riding was the means of travel, and a lot of horses were to be used to transport supplies and the soldiers back to Germany.
The local residents had heard, that the Germans had planned to steal all the region's horses for this purpose, and therefore it was decided to hide the horses so they did not fall into the hands of the enemy. After prolonged discussion it was agreed, that the best hiding place was the hole in the dunes far off the beaten track.
In the dead of night, all the region’s horses were herded into the big hole in the dunes, where the region’s boys guarded them.
For days the Germans searched in vain for the horses. Everywhere they arrived no horses were to be found. The locals were costly amused by this and they ridiculed the soldiers thoroughly. When the soldiers finally began their journey south on foot, they were applauded and taunted along the way. Indeed, this was an appropriate ending to a gloomy period….
