EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld (1911-2004) is seen making his way through the streets of Mstrict, the first major Dutch town to be liberated from Nazi occupation during World War II, in September 1945. The Prince, who would later become the husband of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, is shown driving his own jeep, a symbol of the Allied forces' victory, amidst a jubilant crowd of Dutchmen and Boy Scouts. The end of the war in Europe was a time of immense relief and celebration for the Dutch people, who had endured five long years of occupation and hardship. Prince Bernhard, who had served as a commander in the Dutch military during the war, was a popular figure and a source of inspiration for the Dutch resistance. His visit to Mstrict was a significant moment in the country's post-war recovery, marking the beginning of the return to normalcy and the rebuilding of a shattered nation. The scene captured in this photograph is one of triumph and jubilation, with the Prince's jeep surrounded by a sea of cheering faces. The moment is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Dutch people, who refused to be defeated by the forces of tyranny and oppression. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the importance of freedom and democracy. Prince Bernhard's visit to Mstrict was a turning point in the history of the Netherlands, and this photograph is a poignant and enduring symbol of the country's liberation and the end of World War II in Europe.
