Inlevering van wapens door Duitse soldaten 1945

"Inlevering van wapens door Duitse soldaten" (Surrender of Weapons by German Soldiers), a photograph taken in 1945 by Willem van de Poll, captures a poignant moment in the aftermath of World War II. The image depicts a group of German soldiers, likely disarmed after the war's end, turning in their weapons. The photo, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the photographer's keen eye for documenting historical events, using stark black and white photography to convey the gravity of the moment.
