Oorlogsschade, mei 1940 1940 - 1945

"Oorlogsschade, mei 1940" is a photographic album page documenting the aftermath of war in the Netherlands, likely during the German invasion in May 1940. The anonymous creator captured images of damaged infrastructure and a crashed aircraft, providing a stark visual reminder of the destruction wrought by conflict. The three photos, mounted within a larger album page, offer a snapshot of the devastation, revealing the immediate impact of war on the Dutch landscape. The album, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a poignant historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the experiences of those who lived through this period.
