Bombing of Rotterdam album - URGENT

[waldkraiburg]

WAF members,

I need your urgent help with the following... I have found an album of eBay containing photographs that could have been taken in Rotterdam. Unfortunately, I am unable to post photos on this site, so I am posting the link:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/302257701305?...84.m1558.l2649

A friend of mine (from Holland) is a collector who focuses at the Rotterdam bombing and I would like to purchase these for him, if they were indeed taken in Rotterdam. Could anyone positively identify the city in ruins as Rotterdam?
A clue could be in the photo showing a destroyed tram with a sign Van Nelle...

Thank you!
Peter

Hi Peter,

It is Rotterdam. One of the photos shows "Hotel Café Marconi" Marconiplein. Marconiplein still exists today.

Indeed it is, march 1943, the bombing of Rotterdam, de Mathenesserweg / Spangen.

Hi,

if members can avoid bidding on the album it could be great for Peter.
