EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful wartime poster from the 1940s, titled "Be Brave, Be Stormers," calls upon the Dutch people to display courage and bravery in the face of adversity. The image features a young cadet in full uniform, determinedly carrying a Dutch flag. The cadet's expression is resolute, and his posture is confident, as if he is ready to lead his fellow citizens into battle. The use of the term "Stormers" is significant, as it was a common term for Dutch soldiers during World War II, particularly those who served in the Waffen-SS. The poster was created during a pivotal moment in Dutch history, as the country was under Nazi occupation. Despite the overwhelming odds against them, the Dutch people continued to resist, engaging in acts of sabotage and espionage against the Germans. This poster serves as a reminder of their heroic efforts and the courage that sustained them through difficult times. The use of a young cadet in the image is particularly poignant, as it represents the future of the Netherlands. The poster was likely intended to inspire hope and determination in the Dutch people, reminding them that their actions today would shape the future of their country. The "Be Brave, Be Stormers" poster is a testament to the resilience and bravery of the Dutch people during World War II. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices they made and the courage they displayed in the face of adversity. This historical artifact is an important part of the Dutch wartime legacy and a reminder of the heroism and courage that defined a generation.
