This anonymous photograph, taken between 1942 and 1948, depicts a group of German soldiers. The image is a snapshot of a moment in time during the Second World War. The soldiers are casually posed, some standing, others sitting and one lying down, suggesting a relaxed moment in a potentially tense time. The image is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war. The photograph is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent Dutch museum.
