Twee leden van de Wehrmacht op een hek 1940 - 1945

This anonymous photograph, titled "Twee leden van de Wehrmacht op een hek," depicts two members of the Wehrmacht, the armed forces of Nazi Germany, posing on a fence during World War II. The snapshot, likely taken by a fellow soldier, offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of German soldiers during wartime. The image, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures a moment of camaraderie between two young men, perhaps unaware of the war's devastating consequences. Its small size, 90 mm by 60 mm, adds to its intimate and personal nature.
