In the night of 6/7 March 1945, SS Officer Hanns Albin Rauter, the leader of the Sicherheidsdienst, ‘Security Service’, in the Netherlands, was badly wounded in a mistaken ambush (intended to acquire a German lorry) at the Woeste Hoeve on his way from Didam via Arnhem to Apeldoorn.
Wagon-bed riding was started around 1990 in Bennekom (Netherlands), where the "Riding school without thresholds” is now established.
