Vintage white-bordered, deckled-edge, standard-sized black-and-white real photo postcard (RPPC) with a view of

the Martinistad square and church tower in Groningen, Holland.

Front caption reads,

"Groningen

Een groet uit de Martinistad".

Typed notes on back read,

"Market place of the town of Groningen

with rebuild row of very modern stores. The houses,

restaurants which stood there before the war, were destroyed

during the bigh fights during the liberation in 1945. The 'Martini tower',

in background, was not molested, save for a couple of bulletholes and some

damages owing to shells. This famous Dutch tower, 96 meters high,

is locally called 'Olle Grieze', a dialectic form of 'Oude Grijze', which means

'Old Grey One'. Tower and church very old, will try to find the exact

date and write it later on."
