To keep the cultural military traditions lively, events are organized with exercises, traditional soldier meals, etc., showing the daily life during the mobilization of Dutch troops in 1939-1940. Such an event took place also on the 14th and 15th of May 2010 at several spots on or nearby the defence line which is around 68 km.
However this can be done for various centuries, as the linie was a defence line in 1792 and 1795 against the French troops, which occupied The Netherlands for 18 years.
This „living intangible heritage” is still not on the list of the UNESCO. The UN Organization made the first draft of such a list at the end of 2009 in Abu Dhabi (Weekend journal, Sept.11-13, 2009). It was concentrating more on folklore, songs, dances, traditional clothes, etc.
