On May 8, 1945, The Hague was liberated by Canadian troops and the Princess Irene Brigade. As in the rest of the Netherlands, a period of purges began in The Hague in which society was denazified. The Duindorp district in Scheveningen, which had been completely evacuated by the Germans during the occupation, was set up as a prison camp for NSB members and collaborators, who had to live there pending criminal investigations and possible trial.
