My comment was not to be taken too serious, I was just trying to be as ridiculous as the writer of the article. Weird Dutch humor I guess, my neighbor (who is from the US) told me it took him a long time to understand it.
For Chicago Al: Even though my comment was not very serious, there is a bit of truth in it. Many employees of the Dutch government had very little trouble working for the nazi´s. They were actually very good at it, that´s why the Netherlands were able to ¨supply¨ the concentration camps so well compared to other countries. At a certain point the leader of the sicherheitsdienst, Karl Eberhard Schöngarth, stopped actions of the Dutch SS because even he thought it was getting to bad. What does that tell you about those Dutch government employees?
