This interesting website from author: Allert Goossens covers extensively the battle for the "Zuidfront Holland" or the Southern Front of Holland in may 1940 of which Dordrecht was a part of. I use this website as a source often. You might also want to check: War over Holland. (Click on the link to be rerouted to the website).

Zuidfront-Holland1940 - Dordt Open stad.  (Click on the link to be rerouted to the website)
The website; Dordt Open Stad was made by the late Mr. Jens van der Vorm and is based on the work of his father: the late Mr. Jan van der Vorm. Jan van der Vorm wrote the Dutch book: Dordt Open Stad about the battles on the island of Dordrecht in may 1940. When Mr. Jan van der Vorm died, Jens took over his work. The website was adopted by Allert Goossens as a "sister website" of the above mentioned website. It has many stories en photographs of Dordrecht in may 1940. The website is in Dutch but you might want to take a look at the many interesting photographs. Just check: "Beeldmateriaal". This website has been the inspiration for me to build my own website: www.Dordrechtindeoorlog.nl Jens also organized the reenactment event: Dordt Open Stad. Sadly Jens died in October 2010 due to colon cancer. Jens: Thank you for all you have done for Dordrecht!

Mobilisatiemuseum in tijd van oorlog - Bert Jans Museum. (Click on the link to be rerouted to the website)
This very nice facebookpage is intented as a sort of digital museum founded by collector Bert-Jan Diering from the town of Diepenheim. With his museum he directs attention to the mobilization period in the Netherlands before the outbreak of the war. With the uniforms he sometimes also receives as donations he tries to find the correct historical context. and eventually he does not only share the story about the uniform, but also about the person behind the unfiform. The passion that he has by doing this makes this a very nice facebookpage to follow. 

Stolpersteine - Dordrecht. (Click on the link to be rerouted to the website).
Stolpersteine are little rocks of 10x10x10 cm with a bronze coloured metall plate. On these plates you will find the names of Jewish people that were murdered by the Nazi's and their followers during world war two. De stones are usually placed on the sidewalk near the homes where these people used to live before they were deported and murdered. It's a wonderfull inititiative to make sure that these Jewish victims of world war two are not forgotten.
