According to a plaque in our front yard, the home we're renting was bombed 62 years ago today. I recently visited one of my Dutch neighbors and she shared with me the above photo that she received from one of the original occupants who lived here during World War II. She said that the British were trying to slow down the Germans by collapsing the nearby train bridge and missed. Our unit is the one on the far left. While the damage appears to be just on the facade, sadly the freestanding home to the left of our building was destroyed killing 3 children.
