Rijkspolitie spreekt kinderen toe bij het oprapen van wapens van de slagvelden in Zuid-Nederland Possibly 1945

This black and white photograph, taken by Dutch photographer Charles Breijer, depicts a scene of postwar recovery in the Netherlands. The image shows a group of Dutch children being instructed by a police officer on how to safely handle the leftover munitions from the Battle of the Netherlands. The scene is a stark reminder of the devastation left behind by World War II, but also a hopeful image of the process of rebuilding. The photograph is a powerful testament to the resilience of the Dutch people in the face of adversity.
