Dutch army....

And is the website picture during the liberation of Holland? Here is some actual footage in Amsterdam sent to me by another Dutchman.

I was there...

I looked for you Hans but I need a picture from when you were 10 Ron

Hans is on the web-site picture, on the left, near the flag.

Nice picture by the way. People should be able to recognize themselves.
Then we could find out where the picture was taken.

This is the website photo in question.



An interesting photograph. The AoS '43' indicates an armoured division provost and that looks very much like the Guards Armoured Division 'All Seeing Eye' on the fuel tank....where it clearly shouldn't have been according to Army Council instructions !

Very nice picture, what is the bike they are ferrying? Decent Dutch army photos are few and far between, it's nice to see one here.....

Unforgettable, those days
If you want more, have a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/74/a2006074.shtml
There is one error in that story: it was May 7th and not the 6th that the Germans opened fire on the crowd at Dam Square; I was there too

I guess that's a BSA G14 or KM21, delevered to the Dutch Army before the war started.

I used to have this Original picture. It was in a Photo album and all the pics in this album were taken during the liberation of Brabant, south of Holland. So this one could have been taken in Brabant as well.

Who would be willing and able to share the highest possible resolution scan with a rivet-counter / Arm of Service Anorak ?

Look at the helmet covers, used to distinguish the two parties ('Red' and 'Blue' usually). It covers the oval bronze "Lyon" sign on the Dutch pre-war helmets.

Found this today.... Not sure if the guy on the right is German with a Dutch helmet or a Dutch soldier who has just surrendered. or is it just my imagination.
