A newspaper clipping concerning captured Dutch soldiers waiting for transport. The arrows in this image point to Leendert Philip de Jong standing in the front row with the helmet tilted on his head.
The German caption reads: Die Anzahl der Holländer, die durch den Blitzvormarsch in deutscher Gefangenschaft gerieten ist gewaltig. Hier warten Gefangenen in einer kleinen holländische Stadt auf den Abtransport und ein deutscher Panzer fahrt durch Ihr “Spalier”
Translated as: The number of Dutch soldiers who ended up in German captivity as a result of the lightning-fast advance is enormous. Here prisoners waiting for transport in a small Dutch town and a German tank drives through their "guard of honor"
