Tank on the Wieldrechtse Zeedijk

On May 13, 1940, German tanks drove over the Wieldrechtse Zeedijk towards the city center of Dordrecht. At the intersection of Oude Veerweg - Schenkeldijk, they engaged in combat with the Bicycle troops of the Dutch army. The battle was decided in favor of the Germans. The black and white photo was taken on May 13, 1940. The current photo was taken in March 2024. As you can see, little has changed on the Wieldrechtse Zeedijk since then.
