Donations.

On this page, the donations made over time by various people will be displayed. It would be very exciting if I could receive something as a donation from people, especially because it is always a surprise to see what it could be. I am always looking for items related to the war in Dordrecht, whether they are photos, documents, or uniforms. Everything is interesting!

Do you have anything interesting for the collection? If so, you can email to: info@dordrechtindeoorlog.nl of het contactformulier hier rechts gebruiken.
