Description: | image: The wrecked interior of a French cottage; at the lower left of the composition lies the mother on the floor beside
a rumpled bed. Still in her nightdress, her long hair is lank and lifeless, her eyes closed, her mouth open. Behind her and standing over
the mother with her back to the bed is a small girl weeping with her hands covering her eyes. At the open door, about to leave, stands a
German soldier. His outstretched right hand on the edge of the door, his head is turned to the scene. He grins inanely, his left hand
half-raised in a gesture of farewell. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | women / womens work Death civilian personnel Military Personnel German invasion of Belgium and France children looting / destruction Uniforms propaganda Atrocities and War Crimes Imperial German Army | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Domergue, Jean-Gabriel | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
