Ghosts of war - Amsterdam; Dam Square shooting 1945 Amsterdam, then & now Om may 7th (2 days after german capitulation) thousands of Dutch people were waiting for the liberators to arrive on the Dam square in Amsterdam. They had lived trough 5 years of war and months of fear and hunger. In 'The Big Club' members of the Kriegsmarine watched as the crowd below their balcony grew and grew, people danced and cheered. Then for some sort of reason the Germans placed a machinegun on the balcony and started shooting into the crowds. It has always remained uncertain why it happened but the sad result was that at the brink of peace 120 people were badly injured and 22 died. The shooting finally came to an end after a member of the resistance climbed into the tower of the royal palace and started shooting onto the balcony and into the club. Then a German officer together with a Resistance commander found their way into the Club and convinced the men to surrender. Today I went to the square and made some photos to compare with photos made in 1945. Here you see a wounded man being taken away from the square, there are no other people so the situation is still quite dangerous. The man on the left is a medic, he may be a doctor, a red cross volunteer or a member of the airraid emergency groups. Luckily there were many present there on this day. The building on the left in the royal palace from with the resistance started shooting back. On the right you see the 'Nieuwe Kerk' (new church). Note the shoes and hats dropped by the crowds as they fled for their lives. The sidewalk is covered in blood and there is also a pram without a child in it. During the shooting a toddler walked onto the square, a brave man risked his life to grab it out of the firing line. That film footage still makes me cry.
