Prys--schieten
At top center, poster shows the head of Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands wearing a tiara and drop-earrings. Her smiling face is centered in the crosshairs of a weapon's scope. In the center is a small image of the face of an unidentified man. Bottom right shows five uniformed men, three armed with rifles. That image is captioned: "Org: Bernhard Kommando." The date of the alleged competition is the same date that Princess Beatrix, who had married a German, would be crowned Queen after the abdication of her mother, Queen Juliana. The announcement of a fake shooting competition appears to be black humor aimed at the Dutch monarchy and Beatrix in particular.
