Santa Claus Hands Out Presents to Dutch Children

Santa Claus (Leading Aircraftman Fred Fazan from London) hands out presents to Dutch children at Volkel, 13 December 1944 (Imperial War Museum). Colourization by Pink Colorisation, World War Colorisation and WARTIMES.ca.
Members of No 122 Wing had saved their sweet ration for weeks, and contributed enough money to give the children their first proper Christmas party. It was noted by the photographer that this year Santa was afraid of Messerschmitts, so he decided to come by RAF Tempest!
