Photoalbum Luftwaffe Flak Detachment Moerdijk.
Below you will find the photographs from a photo album of an anti‑aircraft detachment stationed at the Moerdijk bridges. What makes this album particularly interesting is that it offers a unique glimpse into the life of a German soldier — the occupier during the Second World War. The album shows, among other things, the military duties being carried out, what the accommodation facilities looked like, and that there was also time for leisure.
This unit was active at the Moerdijk bridges in 1940/1941, serving as security for the bridges. A nice detail: all the photographs were developed at Foto Lux in Dordrecht.
