This poster is most likely referring to the end of the Dutch famine of 1944-1945, which was a famine that took place in the German-occupied part of the Netherlands, especially in the densely populated western provinces north of the great rivers, during the winter. A German blockade cut off food and fuel shipments from farm areas and some 4.5 million were affected, with as many as 22,000 dying as a result. Citizens often turned to the black market for their food needs. The famine was alleviated by the liberation of the area by the Allies in May 1945.
