Drie gezichten van de bezetter Possibly 1940 - 1945

This anonymous photograph, titled *Drie gezichten van de bezetter* (Three Faces of the Occupier) and likely created between 1940 and 1945, exemplifies the use of propaganda during World War II. The image features a German soldier, likely a member of the Nazi occupation force in the Netherlands, amidst a group of Dutch women, creating a seemingly harmonious scene. However, the accompanying text, "PROPAGANDA - PRO & CON," suggests a deeper and more complex interpretation, exposing the manipulation and contrasting narratives that defined the wartime experience. The photograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a poignant reminder of the power of imagery and the complex reality of occupation.
