Default Re: bombing of the barn, my Dads story

Quite some stories about people hiding their pics buried in the garden or stashed away in the attic for when the war was over. In the 80's researchers found the files of a The Hague (?) professional photographer who took pics of Germans and Dutch guys going off to the Ost. Published the best in a picture book. Very good pics they were but they were hidden away after the war for quite the opposite reasons.

You cab also see the clandestine aspect of filming by just looking at many of these home-movies; Of retreating Germans or Germans conducting a razzia, taken from behind the curtain, jerking left and right and dodging downwards when a German is looking in the filmer's direction....Gives you an acute sense of the fact they were doing something that could have them sent to jail for sure and quite possibly a concentration camp as well.....

BTW no word yet from Groningen here either...
