EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, published during the 1940s by the German Reich but written in Dutch, calls upon the people of Holland to lend their support to the Dutch ambulance service in the east. The image depicts a tattered Red Cross flag fluttering in the wind above a worn-out ambulance, its doors thrown open, as a determined driver and attendant prepare for the next leg of their journey. The caption reads, "Join the 2nd Dutch Ambulance Tour to the East! Your contribution will help transport the wounded and sick to safety during these trying times." The poster, a poignant reminder of the humanitarian efforts during World War II, was likely produced by the German authorities as a means of garnering support from the Dutch population for the Red Cross cause. The use of the Dutch language would have resonated with the audience, and the image of the ambulance, a symbol of medical aid and compassion, would have appealed to the sense of duty and patriotism. Despite the poster's German origins, it underscores the international nature of the Red Cross movement and the shared commitment to providing aid and comfort to those affected by the ravages of war. The poster's faded and worn appearance only adds to its authenticity and historical significance, making it a powerful and moving artifact of a bygone era.
