"Duitse militairen in Volendammer kostuum" is an anonymous photograph, believed to have been taken between 1944 and 1945. The image shows four German soldiers dressed in traditional Volendam costumes, possibly as a form of cultural appropriation or lighthearted interaction with local civilians during wartime. The photograph offers a glimpse into the complex relationship between the occupying German forces and the Dutch population during World War II. It highlights the cultural impact of wartime occupation and the ways in which people sought to cope with the realities of conflict through humor or conformity.
