Norsk bokmål: Foto fra Karl Johans gate i Oslo 9. april 1940, første dagen av den tyske invasjonen og okkupasjonen av Norge under andre verdenskrig. Tropper fra Wehrmacht, det nazistiske Tysklands militære styrker, inntar og besetter hovedstaden. Bildet viser soldater utstyrt med side frakker, høye støvler, stålhjelmer, ammunisjon, feltutstyr, maskinpistoler (MP40), maskingeværer (MG 34) og Mauser-geværer (Karabiner 98k-rifler), som marsjerer nedover gata med Slottet i bakgrunnen og de gamle universitetsbygningene og Universitetsplassen til høyre. Sivile menn og kvinner har samla seg på fortauene for å se på. Noen har sykkel. Ubevæpna norsk politi i lange frakker og britiske hjelmer, ridende til hest, holder ro og orden.
