Thanks for making this reaction video. Cheers.
My grandfather was in the Dutch resistance. He was a farmer and helped a Jewish family hiding at his farm. There is a book about the WWII from my region which mentions my grandfather and shows a picture of the hiding spot.
He held a pig, which was prohibited during that time. The meat was for the German soldiers. My grandfather got arrested and put in The Koepel, a prison in Arnhem. Apparently they took a few random prisoners every morning and shot them in the courtyard. Scary times, but he survived.
My grandmother had a brother living in Germany, about 50 kilometers from where my grandparents lived. The son of her brother was in the Wehrmacht and send to Stalingrad, got captured and was never heard of again.
Crazy what a few kilometers can do. Both my grandmother and my grandfather grew old on that farm and both got to a respectable age of 90 and 92. My grandfather used to be in “de huzaren” (light cavalerie, reconnaissance) and has experiences both World Wars. Even though The Netherlands were neutral during WWI, there was much going on such as the Spanish Flu, killing about 50 million people.
my grandmother told the germans where Anna Frank was hiding ..
Daar komt jouw gedrag dus vandaan😂@@richardhltrp1791
Everybody was in the Dutch resistance....😆😂
Bunch of liars and cowards.
Educate yourself!☝️
My mother's parents hid a policeman who didn't want to work for the Germans. They had a farm, so food stamps weren't a problem as they had their own food.
They were not organised Resistance, just amateurs.
My grandfather was in the resistente in Rotterdam. He was caught and sent to Dachau. There he escaped during the bombardement of München. And walked back to The Netherlands. He was helped many times by Germans. To make it back home
Hannie Schaft was really badass, her execution by firesquad went wrong and she was able to tell them that she could better shoot then them😂 after that the Germans were so angry that they shot there complete weapons empty on her
According to the autopsy report she was shot only twice in the back of the head at close range .
Last week, my mother (*1937) sang this song for me: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, weg met de mof en de N.S.B. Moeder, laat die moffen stikken, anders hebben we niks te bikken. A, b,c, d, e, f, g, weg met de moffen en de N.S.B.
Because i was a guard of honor, i am befriended with people who are involved in organising and taking part in Dodenherdenking. During a second visit to a friend of my mother, i was able to talk to several former resistance fighters and during that ocassion, Mai 2nd 1991, i was able to hold the gun from Hannie Schaft ( The Girl With The Red Hair). This was in Haarlem, on the Bakenessergracht. In the last or for last year of her life, i met Truus Menger, resistance friend from Hannie Schaft, in the basement fromthe Bavo cathedral in Haarlem. Four of us sat around a table and were talking together. Then the maire came and shook us hands.
My great grandfather was a resistance fighter. Last time he got caught it was during a weapon dropping. He was on the deathlist but was broken out. He never talked about it but my father said he was screaming allot in his sleep because the torture they did.
so glad your checking out history hustle! the dude posts goldmines of dutch ww2 perspective content and such,it be great if you checked out his videos of our boys on the other side,fighting in russia,he has quite a few vids about the dutch volunteers.
Very interesting video! As a Dutchman i also learned a few new things here.. After have fought in the beginning of the war, my granddad became the chef of a very important garage for the Germans but he was against them.. But because he was important for them he was left in peace and because of this he could help a lot of people hide for them and from deporting to the infamous camps..
Me and my family are from the south, my grandparents and their children during the war years lived near a drawbridge that was crucial in the Market Garden operation and grandpa controlled opening and closing of the bridge. He at one time was held at gunpoint, actually to his chest, by the Germans because he kept the bridge open to keep the Germans from moving their troups. Grandma smuggled food from Belgium (when it was already liberated) on foot through the woods with a stroller with my (baby) mother in it on top of the food. Just taking a stroll ... she got by with that phrase several times.
I remember asking my grandma as a very young boy, why there were so many holes in their cupboard. The only answer I ever got was, don't you worry about it, it was the war, but it's over now. THOSE WERE BULLET HOLES! I would really cherish that cupboard now in memory of my grandparents if I could have it still ...
From my father I also know the terrible stories of the soviet occupation of Hungary.
Occupation by a hostile enemy that suppresses and oppresses is the worst thing that can happen. My heart goes out to every Ukrainian today. What little I can do, the flowers on my balcony are blue and yellow. Not forgetting all the other places on earth where war ravages peoples and societies.
That's why the yearly remembrance day of the 4th and the liberation day on the 5th of may are so important to me and my fellow dutchies, the whole country comes to a halt at 20:00 when we remember everyone who perished in the war, fell fighting for freedom and send our thoughts of support to everyone in need in this world
Mijn overgrootmoeder had Joodse onderduikers. Helaas zijn ze veraden. Ze zijn allen weggevoerd en hoogst waarschijnlijk heeft niemand het overleefd. Mijn overgrootmoeder stierf in Ravensbrück. Mijn op zat in het verzet samen met zijn neef. Als kind werd er weleens over gesproken ik als kind begreep weinig van wat er werd gezegd. Ik weet nog dat we het op school over de oorlog hadden. Bij de vraag wat weet je over jouw grootouders in die tijd. Met trots zei ik dan mijn opa was politie onder de grond.
Het verzet werd de ondergrondse genoemd. Ja als 7 jarige geef je je er een eigen draai aan.
I was a buddy/friend of a old gentleman, he died a couple of years ago at the age of 94. He was in the Dutch resistance and told me the most horrible things he saw and that happened. And also heroic things the resistance did.
My grandfather was forced to work for the Germans, but he told them: "I am not going to work for an insane idiot!"
A German soldier put him against the wall, ready to execute him. But he payed more attention for his sigaret and my grandfather hit him knock out, stole his motorcycle and had to go hiding.
I am related to a person mentioned (Frederik Slomp a.k.a Frits de Zwerver) When we handled the subject in history class I jonkingly saying that he was my family (my grandmother has the same surname en came from the same village) When I told this joke to my mother she informed me that this was her uncle Frits. He really was family, I did'n know because in my family we don't talk about the war, it causes to much pain. My grandmother is 96, on the one hand I want to ask her things, but on the other hand I want to respect feelings...
My grandfather joined a local resistance movement after fighting the Germans during the invasion until the bombing of the city of Rotterdam, and the subsequent surrender of the remaining Dutch government. They spent their time raiding foodstamp offices, acts of sabotage, and taking out german collaborators, among other things. They eventually were found out, and my grandfather had to flee the country (not everyone in his group made it out alive), and spent the rest of the war in London, England.
My grandfather was part of the Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten as well. Someone told the Germans but fortunately he was able to hide in a secret room in the house so they didn't find him when they raided my grandparents house. Soon after he went to hide elsewhere and he never got caught. I always think about him, and my grandma who stayed home with 4 small children, listening to the bomber planes, hoping they wouldn't get hit and hoping her husband was still safe. Hero's, all the folks in the resistance and all people who helped jewish people back then. I can not put my respect into words.
My father in low was in the Dutch resistance, they collect weapons for the resistance in Rotterdam wich where dropt in the Krimpenerwaard by aircraft from England
Sitting in a schoolbench having to listen to the teacher, the teacher wasn't into it either, causing you to either drift off or fall asleep....
I discovered a lot of details about it, I've never heard before 😮
Thank you for this video 🙏
Nice! HxC does Stephan's channel! 😃
After 8 may 45 the Dutch Resistance was very big!
Inderdaad! 😂
Both my grandparents were involved in the resistance. My grandmother dated an officer to gather intel and did lots of other things. My grandfather helped to get Jewish children out of Utrecht in to hiding. He was caught eventually but managed to escape from the train that was deporting him. He had to go in to hiding after that. My grandparents met during the liberation celebrations. My grandmother was wrecked with survivors guilt and trauma, so she didn’t wanted to go on with life but my grandfather convinced her to try to life with him together. She never talked about the war and her part in it. It was too painful. After she died at 90 my grandfather started to tell more about her stories and his own. He was also approached to collect his stories for maybe a book but the publisher decided to let him write his own book about his entire life. It got published when he was 99. Only in Dutch tho. I’m happy he is still with us at 102 and that I’m still able to listen to his stories, because we indeed should never forget history.
Hallo broeder,
Wat is de naam van het boek? Bedankt!
Groetjes Arie vanuit Zuid-Holland 🤚
@@yeshuatheking9264 hey, het boek heet; Dat deed je gewoon. Door Fred Hisschemöller
I regularly watch his uploads and I think it's a very nice way of explaining things. And it also sticks very well in your memory.
Given the concept of the video it is understandable but he casually mentions so many thing that could be a video on their own. The Council of Nine, the England sailors, the LKP, the underground railroad. etc etc. For the time given for the vid however, I think it covered a fair amount. If you like history, it is absolutely a subject worth looking into a bit more.
Highly i don’t even now my fathers history during the war. I find out he had to work in a German steelfactory.
He came back whith a disabled hand. He never spook about his tim overthere.
Fun fact. Percentage wise, more jews in hiding were betrayed by their fellow countrymen in the Netherlands than any of the other occupied regions. The reason why the Dutch were so late in mobilizing(despite the urging from France and the UK), was that they were counting on preferential treatment from Germany, who saw the Dutch as good Aryan people. The fact that jews were prosecuted in Germany, didn't bother the Dutch too much. Until Germany invaded. If anything; the Dutch saw an opportunity and got duped
The brave, tough one Hannie Schaft: During the execution, Schaft is said to have said after a graze shot: "I shoot better", after which SD member Maarten Kuiper is said to have emptied his submachine gun at her. These words were attributed to her by Theun de Vries in his book The girl with the red hair.[11] This is a matter of poetic freedom, because the autopsy report of pathologist M. B. E. Nilant of June 1, 1945 states that two bullets were fired from close range at the back of the victim's head. There were two exit openings at the front of the skull. According to the report, the first bullet of a smaller caliber was not fatal, the second larger one was.
Read this in Wikipedia
"Poetic freedom" you meant artistic license
My grandma's parents risked their life and their newborns (and possible toddlers not sure when her brother was born) hiding allied pilots in their house. They also used the parachutes to make clothes. They were lucky that the Germans never caught on as they moved heavy furniture to hide the pilots. If they put it back wrong, you'd see it in the carpet
My grandma walked with a baby stroller filled with guns and food for 100 km and a fake baby on it. She always took sigarettes to bribe the Germans for food for her and ‘the baby’. In winter if was a dangerous journey. Cold, no food. And walking through the snow with a stroller. She pnly had a piece of cheese for the 100 km walk. She was from a farm. But she bever ever ate any of that what she did carrry because on the east line no one had anything to eat.
I will add the strike in 1943 that i think started in Rotterdam, which was bigger, but never got the attention that the first sterke got. Jacobs van tongeren never got caught because of her system (members had numbers, not names, so were not foundation. Spoke her son who did a lot of research after he learned of what she did, just before she died. Impressive. In 2022 she got her status........)
3:38 probably because he is Dutch and like me reads documents about ww2 for fun hahaha
He's a teacher. It's is job and youtube is a good side hussle!
My father here in Amsterdam made false passports so Jewish could flee to England or America. Also foodstamps.He worked for the van Hall group.
Audrey Hepburn played her part in the resistance in the Arnhem area......
Those stories were mostly made up. Audrey needed to boost her image after the war. Her mother's family were nazi sympathizers. Audrey herself said this in an interview where she told that the stories were embellished.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you listen to the stories now, 80% was in the resistance...
I think you are confused. What you probably meant to say is that 80% of the stories you hear are about people who were in the resistance, which makes sense, because persons with family members that have a history of collaborating with the Nazis are not that outspoken about it.
That does not mean that a lot of people put their lives on the line to help others and were brutally tortured and killed while trying.
So please have a bit of respect for those people who put their lives on the line. Thank you!
@@hreuver I am not confused and it has nothing to do with respect or not. If ppl lie about being in the resistance it is disrespectful. I served for over 20 years myself and before and after that I volunteered in a home for the elderly, my family all work with older ppl and my parents self are in their late 80s. And most tell stories that they or their family was in the resistance, while they were not and that is easily debunked by family members, documents and timewise not even possible that they were. Sorry to burst your bubble, but ppl lie.
Keyboard warrior 😂@@JHX1
@@Lilygirl283 Neh, it's just the truth. There is no question about respect or not, it is obvious that the respect is big and shouldn't be forgotten. We had a teacher in primary school in the early 80s that was obsessed with resistance and had so many stories and material, field trips etc. And he also said in one of the fist lessons that you shouldn't believe all you hear, that even his dad tells ppl that he was in the resistance and that his dad was 8 back then and didn't even live in the Netherlands...
@@JHX1nobody really cares.
My uncle was arrested and send to Neuengamme. He distributed illegal literature and helped Jews go into hiding and provided them with a false identity card .
