	Dutch government in exile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dutch government in exile was the government of the Netherlands, headed by Queen Wilhelmina, that fled to London after the German invasion of the country at the outset of World War II.
		The government in exile was soon faced with a dilemma, after France had been defeated and the Germans had installed the puppet Vichy French government, which collaborated with Hitler.
		The government in exile was still in control of the Dutch East Indies with all its resources: it was the third largest oil producer at the time (after the US and the USSR).

	Anti-Semitism and Hypocrisy in Dutch Society - Manfred Gerstenfeld
		The Dutch government has still not publicly acknowledged the major assistance of the Dutch bureaucracy in the preparatory stages of the murder of Dutch Jews by the Germans during the Holocaust.
		While Dutch governments seem to have major problems confronting matters with deadly consequences for which they are responsible, this does not prevent them from regularly criticizing the Israeli government about its behavior in infinitely more difficult circumstances.
		The Dutch government has still not publicly acknowledged the role of the Dutch authorities in the preparatory stages of the murder of Dutch Jews by the Germans.

	The Netherlands: Loot Thy Neighbor
		On April 29, 1942, the Jewish Council was advised that as of May 1, all Dutch Jews over the age of six would have to wear the yellow Jodenster on their clothing, a move that was intended not only to isolate and further humiliate them but to make it harder for them to hide.
		Dutch banks participated in the trading, but it was the German Handelstrust West (a subsidiary of the Dresdener Bank) that did the lion's share of business.
		Two groups of Dutch collaborators were particularly active in rounding up Jews: the Groene Politie or Green Police, so named for the color of their uniforms, and the Vrijwillige Hulp-Politie, the Volunteer Auxiliary Police,a body formed in May 1942 with a subdivision that specialized in ferreting out hidden Jews.

	B-25 Mitchell in Dutch Service
		On August 11, Spaatz informed the Dutch that an accelerated delivery schedule had been approved, with 42 planes scheduled for delivery from March through September 1942, 36 during October and November, 72 during during December, and the last 12 planes to be delivered by February 1943.
		Following Pearl Harbor, there were pressures by the Dutch for even more rapid delivery of their Mitchells, as well as pressures by the USAAF for use of these planes by itself.
		It was agreed that the Dutch government would be credited accordingly, or else the planes would be replaced on a one-to-one basis by later deliveries.

	Japan's need for oil and the Embargo (1940-1941)
		It was later, however, decided that all further negotiations were to be conducted via Dutch colonial administration in Batavia, and naturally with a help of the Japanese Consulate General in Batavia, led by Consul-Generals Matatoshi Saito (before 1941) and later by Yutaka Ishizawa.
		The Dutch government in exile came to the conclusion that in case of a Japanese attack on American and/or British possessions in that area it would be very improbable that it should stop at the borders of the Dutch East Indies.
		Two days later, on December 10th 1941, the Dutch Ambassador in Tokyo, a 67-year-old retired Brigadier General J.C. Pabst, officially handed over the Dutch Declaration of War to the Empire of Japan to the assistant of Foreign Minister (the Minister himself was apparently too busy), thus ending the pre-war Dutch-Japanese diplomatic relations.

	Dutch (KNIL) and British Armoured Units in the Dutch East Indies, 1941-1942
		As a result, the Dutch were unable to obtain front-line equipment and the KNIL was forced to make do with equipment that had already been rejected by the U.S. military forces.
		As expected, the Japanese put similar pressure on the NEI colonial government and the United States feared the Dutch would make similar concessions and was unwilling to waste front-line equipment on what might well become a lost cause in the foreign policy arena.
		Following the fall of Holland, the Dutch government-in-exile sent this purchasing body sent to the United States in June 1940 to purchase arms and equipment for its military forces in the Far East.

	Decades of Dutch Debate on Releasing World War II Criminals - Manfred Gerstenfeld
		Dutch politicians, academics, and the media debated whether it was moral to keep major war criminals in jail.
		The role of the Dutch in the process that led to the mass murder of the Dutch Jews remains a sad chapter in the country's history.
		This may ultimately lead to the Dutch government finally admitting and apologizing for the fact that the Dutch government in exile in London was hardly concerned about the fate of the Dutch Jews.

		In May 1940 the Germans overran Holland and a Dutch Government-in-exile, technically a resistance organization, was established in London.

	Camacs coins, coin supplies and numismatic collecting information
		World War II was winding down in 1945 and the Dutch government in exile in England ordered millions of ten cent silver pieces from the United States Mint in Philadelphia.
		When the war ended these coins were shipped to Holland where the government decided not to issue the coins but to melt down these tiny silver coins and to use the money realized to help pay off the Dutch war debt to the United States.
		The Dutch are very proud of this decision as it enabled them to be one of the few countries who paid off their World War II debt to the United States.

		The lives of seven wealthy, carefree Dutch university students are irrevocably altered when the Germans occupy their homeland in 1940.
		In exile in England, the dowager queen walks stiffly in her garden, gravely absorbs the advice of her ministers, receives delegations, and conveys a dignity upon the situation through her very bearing (for, of course, she had no real authority then at all).
		A subplot involving an underground Dutch radio operator is clothed in similar detail; we know enough of his character to know why he turns informer and his decision is not simply cowardly, but is almost understandable.
