This black and white photograph, taken on July 5, 1940, in the port of Le Havre, captures a scene of humanitarian aid distribution provided by the National-Socialistic Assistance (NSV). A woman, identifiable as a nurse, is distributing supplies, specifically "victuals which were found by the German troops," from a table abundant with canned goods to a crowd of French refugees who are arriving in the port. The image, designated T-26.10.1.045, conveys a sense of solemnity, highlighting the difficulties faced by the diverse individuals awaiting assistance and emphasizing the NSV's relief efforts during this challenging time following the German occupation of France.
