Adrianus was a Dutch civilian war casualty of World War II. The city of Eindhoven was celebrating the Allied arrival in the Netherlands on September 18, 1944; the city was alive with parties and festivities all day, stretching into night. In the darkness, the German planes came. The city was subjected to a brutal bombardment targeting the recently arrived Allied paratroopers. Civilians took shelter wherever they could... but once the bombs had fallen and dust had settled, 227 civilians were dead.
