    Holland (Dordrecht) 1940 dutch soldiers photo

    Hi Guys,

    I want to show you my new photo.
    The photo is taken in Dordrecht in Mai 1940 at the Rijksstraatweg.
    The soldiers are killed by German Fallschirmjagers.




    I also found this photo which is taken from the same body's.

    http://www.grebbeberg.nl/dordt/fotosdordt/img807_6.html

    This is the story what happened out there:

    On May 11 around 2.30 pm, in the very dawn, the soldiers resting from 1-I-34 RI fierce back. From the front and from the area west of the Rijksstraatweg, near the Mijlweg, floten bullets. In a short time 21 soldiers died and several were wounded. The slogan "back ... back!" did panic outbreak. The Company spatte varied and many threw away the weapons.

    Translated in Dutch:

    Op 11 mei omstreeks 2.30 uur, in het allereerste ochtendschemer, werden de rustende soldaten van1-I-34 RI hevig beschoten. Van voren en vanuit het terrein ten westen van de Rijksstraatweg, nabij de Mijlweg, floten kogels. In korte tijd sneuvelden 21 militairen en er vielen verscheidene gewonden. De kreet "terug... terug!" deed paniek uitbreken. De compagnie spatte uiteen en velen wierpen de wapens weg.

      Nice picture, there are more known of that place, made from various point of angles.
      A little bit better translation (my English aint the best also):

      On May 11, around 2.30 PM, in the early morning, the resting soldiers of 1-I-34 RI were heavily being shot at.
      Bullets came from the front and from the terrain west of the Rijksstraatweg road, near De Mijlweg road. In a short time 21 soldiers died and many became wounded.
      The shouting of "Back!!...BACK!!!.." created much panic among the Dutch soldiers.
      The company fell apart and many soldiers trew away their weapons.
      I'm collecting anything related to the towns Castricum and Bakkum during WWII.
      Also soldbucher from 116pzdiv. And 1944-1945 eastfront pockets, kampfgruppe and Oder front.

        Check out my thread on Dutch Flea market finds.....on page 7 #4 is a memorial book on fallen Dutch soldiers in 1940. The names of those soldiers are probably listed.
