The World War II Thread continuation
I bought a series of 1970s articles on WW2 in Friesland (the north of Netherlands) which isn't just where my BF lives, but also where my grandmother
was born and where she lived during the war.
Am almost finished, and learned of the Aktion Silbertanne (called Sonderkommando Silbertanne in German (we use Aktion which is German in itself) - the
codename for a series of reprisal killings of prominent civilians executed by Dutch SS members for attacks by the Dutch resistance on collaborating
targets.
Mussert was strongly opoposed - and when SS Brigadeführer Schöngarth heard of it, he stopped it immediately.
When it's even too low for the Nazis...
