In 2004, STIWOT received a number of photos from mr. B. Sombroek from Koog aan de Zaan. The photos are from his father's inheritance. The photos were made in Dunkirk just after the German capture. Mr. Sombroek's father was deported to Germany and exchanged these photos with a soldier for a loaf of bread at the end of the war.
