Summary edit

Description Nazi propaganda poster on the fatal 22 February 1944 bombings of Nijmegen, Enschede and Arnhem by American aircraft, in which hundreds of Dutch civilians were killed as 'collateral damage'. This and other posters aimed to undermine Dutch civilians' support for the Allied Forces by mocking the idea that the Allies were their "friends". The Dutch saying 'Van je vrienden moet je 't hebben!' roughly translates to the English saying 'With friends like these, who needs enemies!?' Internal sources from the occupying Nazi authorities seem to suggest the propaganda was counterproductive: the civilian population felt it was very wrong to exploit their grief for political gain, they resented the occupation even more, and seven months later would greet the Allied troops as liberators.
