Memorabilia

As you have seen on this website, the food drop missions ment a lot for the people in holland.

The people wanted to remember the event with memorabilia.

The following items are from my own collection:


Postcard 1945


Postcard 2000 The American veterans handed these cards out at the commemoration in May 2000


Tile of the Swedish Red Cross food aid in early 1945.


Tile commemorating the food drop missions.


Liberation newspaper containing the food drop cartoon.


Welfare Biscuits cans. The cans where packed per two in wooden crates as you can see on the photo. On top of the crate you can see the original biscuits. The biscuit cans where not dropped by the aircrafts but they came into Holland during operation faust.

Food ration coupons from 1944.

Pictures of other items where send to me: If you have a tile, postcard, or else that remembers of the food drop missions, than please send me a picture of the item and I will post it here.
