Tank at Berkenhof

German paratroopers pose by a Panzer III tank of the 9th Panzer Division on the Wieldrechtse Zeedijk in Dubbeldam. The photo was taken near the Berkenhof farm on May 13, 1940. For the paratroopers, the arrival of the 9th Panzer Division marked the relief of their duties, although the fighting in the city center would continue throughout the day.
