    Warspot editorial
    01 June '21

    In 1945, liberated from the Nazis, Europe was recovering and somewhat nervously joking at those who had recently oppressed it. The Netherlands also did not stand aside — for example, a series of postcards by the artist Nico Broekman was produced, entitled «Memory of the Five Years War, Terror and Nazi Dominance, May 1940 — May 1945» (Een herinnering aan vijf kommervolle jaren oorlog, terreur en overheersching der Nazi's, mei 1940 — mei 1945).

    The drawings are uncomplicated, but made with attention to detail. Judging by the red buttonholes of many characters, the artist was especially annoyed with the Wehrmacht anti-aircraft gunners. All illustrations are taken from www.europeana.eu.
