German parade

A German parade celebrating the capture of Paris in June 1940 in Dordrecht. So soon after the capitulation of the Netherlands in May 1940, this was the new reality in the streets of Dordrecht. As seen in the photo, the parade attracted a lot of attention. The station has hardly changed since World War II.
