There is a violent attack on Colijn's 1940 writings, and on his character in general in a pamphlet written by Visser van Nieuwpoort (pseudonym): De Anti-Revolutionnaire Partij en Dr. H. Colijn (Amsterdam, 1946). 9a. Cf. P. S. Gerbrandy, Enige hoofdpunten van het regeeringsbeleid in London (The Hague, 1946), pp. 7-8, 38. 10. D. J. de Geer, De Synthese in den Oorlog (The Netherlands, 1942). 11. Mr. Linthorst Homan made these points in a private statement which sub­ sequently became public. The two other leaders of the Unie, Professor J. E. de Quay and Mr. L. Einthoven, intensely disagreed with it, and as a result the Unie was almost broken up in autumn 1940. The Unie went clearly into the anti-German camp when it refused to support the "crusade" against Russia. In July 1941 the Germans forced Mr. Linthorst Homan to resign as "Com­ missioner of the Queen". Soon thereafter the Unie was forbidden. Cf. De Neder­ landsche Unie en haar Driemanschap (Schiedam, 1946). Mr. Linthorst Roman's statement is discussed on p. 43 and p. 64 of this booklet. Note also the inter­ estmg articles in Onderdrukking en Verzet (II, 76-108) by Prime Minister W. Drees and Mr. J. G. Suurhoff. Also: Kortenhorst, op. cit., pp. 17-21. 12. Ibid., p. 14. On the other hand, public demonstrations on June 29, 1940, Prince Bernhard's birthday, attest that the House of Orange was still very popular. The Germans were furious about these incidents. Professor L. G. J. Verberne believes that German "correctness" in May and June 1940 accomplIshed nothing but "a sharpenmg of national vigilance .... The nation appeared nninclined to assume even a wait-and-see attitude. It had chosen, firmly and unyieldingly". (1. Valkhoff [ed.), Grondwet en Maatschapptj fn Nederland I848-I948 [The Hague, 1948), p. 148). 13. German mistakes m the handling of the occupied countries were accentuated THE PATTERN OF COLLABORATION 165 by internal dissension. All the cliques around Hitler that fought for power in Germany had their representatives in the occupied Netherlands, where they tried to enlist the aid of different groups of collaborators for their own purposes. Among Seyss-Inquart's three chief lieutenants, Rauter was Himmler's man; Fischb&k represented GQring and his policy of total spoliation; Schmidt was the N.S.D.A.P. (Borman) agent, but especially obedient to Goebbels. Ribben­ trop had planted his special emissaries before the invasion, where they checked on the pro-Junker German ambassador Zech von Burkersroda. The Junkers were generally influential among the occupation troops of the Wehrmacht, and especially in its intelligence agency, the Abwehr. However, the S.D., the SS's intelligence outfit, became more and more powerful, particularly after the July 1944 Putsch. During the last year of the occupation Seyss-Inquart became more or less the tool of Himmler, whose SS had successfully infiltrated the N.S.B., the Dutch Nazi party. Schmidt, the N.S.D.A.P. man, is said to have been assassinated by the SS when he was on his way to Hitler to complain about its policies. One more German clique in Holland is interesting: the "Russian Front Shirkers". They created numerous quite superfluous bureaucratic empires and played German cliques against one another, which often served to continue their obviously unnecessary assignment in The Hague. Cf. Onderdrukking en Verzet, I, 352. Documentatie, status en werkzaamheid van Organisaties en Instellingen uit de Tijd der Duitse Bezetting van Nederland (Amsterdam, 1947), p. 337.

It is beyond the scope of this study to discuss the various economic, political, and social factors which favored the growth of Fascism in the interwar period. The spirit of June 1940, and collaboration in general can only be fully under­ stood in their relationship with this period. 16. In the beginning of the occupation the N.S.B. expected to be permitted by the Germans to rule Holland. For that purpose more than 40 fronts and guilds were instituted, which were to dominate every phase of Dutch life. As the Germans never allowed the N.S.B. to run Holland, most of the fronts never amounted to anything. Some of them collapsed after a few months, and several had no other members than a cadre of N.S.B. fanatics. Quite a few fronts were nothing but "hobbies" of N.S.B. bigwigs who wanted to have their own "empires". 17. In 1922, 48 parties participated in the parliamentary elections, in 1933, 54. However, of these 54 parties only 14 received one or more seats in the Second Chamber, while only 19 polled more than 10,000 votes. The Dutch Nazis attempted to make political capital out of the many factions participating in the elections. They created the myth of the hopelessly divided Dutch nation which would be saved only by destroying the party system. Actually, Dutch politics between the wars, and more so today, have been determined by about 6 major parties. This was the division of seats in the Second Chamber of 1933: Roman Catholic State Party. 28 Social Democratic Labor Party . 22 Anti-Revolutionary Party (Conservative Protestant) 14 Christian-Historical Union (Cons. Protestant) 10 Liberal State Party. 7 Liberal Democratic Party . 6 Communist Party. 4 Seven other parties. 9 100 lB. Cf. Documentatie, p. B; The Netherlands, p. 129. A former resident of the Dutch East Indies recalls how "like a prince", Mus­ sert was received in the Indies. "He was to speak in the Dutch club at Djokja, and all officials, including those from the native court of Djokja, were ordered 166 NOTES AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES (by local Dutch authorities) to be present." (Kr. Strijd, Wat moet e, met de N.S.B.'ers gebeu,en? [Almelo, 1945], p. 2). One observer distinguished between three general types of Dutch Nazis: the Southern Netherlands type, based on Italian-Fascist, and strictly authoritarian principles (Catholic region); the North-Eastern type, especially in the agrarian province of Drenthe, where the crisis·ridden small farmers have supposedly long believed in the "Race, Blood, and Earth" myth; finally, the Western­ Netherlands type, especially of the big cities, where Nazism was at first a superficial fad and later was caused by commercial (anti-Semitic?) considera­ tions. (Os. H. Bardeloos, "De Geestelijke en Maatschappelijke Gevolgen van de Interneering", Toellicht, 1 [1948], 29). 19. All of the following quotations are translated from 2 volumes published by the N.S.B.: L. Lindeman, Bet NationaUsme van de N.S.B. (Leiden, 1940). L. Lindeman, Bet Socialisme van de N.S.B. (Leiden, 1941). Also Dr. C. B. Hylkema - a former Protestant minister who joined the N.S.B. in 1934 - published a book about the doctrines of Dutch Fascism: Het N elle,­ landsc" Fascisme (Amsterdam, 1934). Dutch Nazis contributed essays on political and other subjects to: Keu,jaar· boek I93Z-I94z (Amsterdam, 1942). 20. The leader of the N.S.B., Mussert ,wrote the following to illustrate his idea of Socialism: "One of our members told me, when he first came to me: 'I am just a peasant'. Whereupon 1 put my hand on his shoulder and answered: 'Just a peasant? You are a peasant, one of those who are responsible for the cultivation of our land, so as to provide for the needs of our people'. It is equally wrong to say: 'I am just a worker'. The liberal and marxist gentlemen, who for their own advantage preferred the struggle between classes, talked you into that. How maltreated our workers have been, how exploited, and enslaved .... In the National Socialist state the worker will regain his self-respect, ... because he will be fully conscious that his labor ... is essential for the existence of the community .... " (Het Socialisme van de N.S.B., p. 82). The greatest height of N.S.B. thinking in the economic and Socialist spheres was obviously reached with this statement: "The aim of political economy is the rational provision of reasonable needs". This point was considered "so clearly formulated that no further commentary is actually required". (Ibid., p.26). 21.

Rebecca West, The Meaning of Treason (New York, 1947), p. 231. Dutchmen with German family ties were in general more attracted to the N.S.B. During the occupation, persons with German relatives are said to have accepted collab­ oration more readily than others.

  • “Left to Their Own Devices”
    “LEFT TO THEIR OWN DEVICES” Belgium’s Ambiguous Assimilation of Eupen-Malmedy (1919-1940) - Vincent O’Connell - The inter-war period in Eupen-Malmedy remains a sensitive arena in which the experiences and sensibilities of its inhabitants have barely been broached by historians. The controversial milestones of the interwar period in Eupen-Malmedy have been covered over with the palimpsest of what the late Tony Judt has referred to elsewhere as ‘selective forgetting’ where communities as well as individuals shield certain episodes or events of the past from intrusion by historians1. The German historian Freddy Cremer describes this phenomenon as akin to ‘amnesia as therapy’. The period following the Nazi invasion and annexation of the former Germany districts in 1940 and their later liberation conspired to further compound an already complex situation. Since then the historical narrative has been shrouded beneath a veil of silence. This article aims in some small way to pull back this veil so that in Cremer’s words “the past may not be left untouched”2. 11 Belgium’s Ambiguous Assimilation of Eupen-Malmedy Klaus Pabst’s Eupen Malmedy in der bel- Pieter Lagrou in his work on national memory gischen Regierungs- und Parteienpolitik and recovery in post-Nazi Europe argues 1914-1940 published in 1964 has been the that : Awareness of and explicit research into traditional starting point for scholars inte- representations of a historical event im me- rested in this borderland territory and deli- diately afterwards, generally helps the his- neates the political relationship between torian to avoid the bias implicit in many of Eupen-Malmedy and Belgium up to the Nazi his or her sources, and to avoid the pitfalls annexation of 1940.
