📼 De bevrijding in Amsterdam (1945) 

Wow! Did your father ever say what happened to the collaborators or what the sentence was? I imagine treason and shot? Were each cast taken on merit?

@@gheffz No, he rarely ever spoke about his experiences in Europe during the war.

@@RonaldJMacDonald I thought so, Ron ... I know so many WWII vets that don't mentioned it at all, so I am not surprised ... I just asked in-case he did mention given he was directly involved with guarding collaborators. I am from Brisbane, Australia, FYI.

@@gheffz - I`ve been to Brisbane twice. I`m retired from the Canadian Navy. I live in the Niagara Region of Ontario.

It's interesting that those in such a position to decide where collaborators would be housed under guard that they would choose to house those collaborators in a posh hotel. Could the reason possibly be that those who wanted to house the collaborators in near luxury knew even then that those collaborators would not be held accountable for their crimes against their fellow Dutch to include Jews?? Could it be that those who decided to put them up in comfort knew the same collaborators could very likely rule their lives again as government functionaries, or their boss at work..

The police in that clip where scumbags too

History repeats itself. I know exactly what you’re saying.

At 1:46 the police have black uniforms, Riding (Jack) boots, and peeked caps. Very reminiscent of the Gestapo. lacking is the MP40

There was of course another way to retribution

What you say is so true. The good guys don't always win and total scum come out smelling like a rose.

Because it is film

@@BobMuir100 That doesn't necessarily follow!

@@anthonytaylor9232 : it kinda does and it’s why old movies, tv work well on HD tv as they are very high def themselves. Not that people thought in those terms back then. You can see the quality degrade when TV moved to video, it’s playback today is poor! Main production movies still work on HD as they always used best quality possible. So thats my understanding if I am wrong please tell me, I want to know. Honestly. Bob

Omdat alles rauw is geupload denk ik. Toendertijd hadden camera's geen microfoon... en had je dus alleen beeld.

No, must have been Denmark?

At least we fought when they invaded our country, Austria just let them in. Plus who are you to judge about "how much resistance" there was in the Netherlands? You can't even get the name of the country right, ergo your comment are misinformed or willfully condescending.

@@divideutregnes4448 (🇬🇧) : When i was 55 years younger, lived down in the S. East. Knew a family called The Phaffs. MR P Snr was a lovely, kind, avuncullar and generous gentlleman, his family was very pleasant. Twas a little later on that my Dad told me that Mr Phaff had been in der 'Dam throughout WW2, where he was a diamond dealer, I believe. Additionally, that he had been an active and enthused member of the Dutch Resistance until things were made' safe' again.

@@divideutregnes4448 Well my Father was there in Holland 1944 with the Brit 1st Airborne Division, and he was scathing about your Dutch "resistance". He and his comrades referred to your lot as "Germans lacking Guts". Yes he had the right to judge, whereas your national bias lends itself to a cover up.

@@ardshielcomplex8917 thats fine, your grandparents generation also falsely described the Poles as cowards after Montgomary miserably failed during Market Garden. Obviously I have nothing but respect for all the Brits that helped liberate the country, but again you are in no position to judge. Just as easily it can be said that you argue from your own national bias so that seems irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. My grandfather had to walk from farm to farm begging for food and shelter while eating tulip bulbs to stay alive, but as you'd like to describe him he was just a "German lacking courage".

Most of them were police officers. :-)

Like the French...they were all in the Resistance after the war ended

Thanks for this.

My father was in the resistance from 1945 till 2014.

@Kabo Torko To resist the most evil regime the world has ever seen. Hopefully, ever will see.

@Kabo Torko I didn't mean to say that the Bolsheviks were any better--maybe they were just as bad. I meant that the genuine Dutch resistance was trying to defeat a genuine worst case scenario type enemy in the Nazis. That is all.

yep and then they went to indonesia to reestablish colonial rule

@@tonybarnes3858 That must be the reason for the worldwide peace after 1945 😁

@Konstantin Vesselovskii yep, I agree. The Dutch did suffer badly at first, I give them that.

Always the Nazi's, even after the war. Today people even claim they are secretly running the American government. People are such dishonest entities. Empires America, Britain, and France were the one's who practiced and was built on slavery and coveting everything in sight, leaving nothing not subjected to them in some form or another.. dividing it up among themselves.. even today. Yet it's always "them Nazi's" just like I image Rome always blamed "them Barbarians" a long time ago.

@@toast2610 Nazis were evil,still are they thrive on the Ego!..but I take your point about colonialism,you are correct!I've lived with it ,born and raised in Belfast,Ireland...but we stood up!🙏🇮🇪

@@drfeelgood9814 What did the Germans do to you or your people that you know of? If I'm not mistaken Ireland was neutral during the war. Do you think the Nazi's are more evil than say the Brits?

@@toast2610 Well the Nazis of old bombed Belfast killing thousands.I I'm talking about Nazism, it's ideology is one of fascism rascism and sectarianism, which is vile!!I have nothing but respect for the German nation,in fact Germany sent weapons to Ireland to fight against British occupation forces.Nazis are not defined by their nation,they are defined by their ideology and their actions! and they are around in many nation's to this day as are Zionists...look at the state of the Whitehouse!🙏🇮🇪

@@drfeelgood9814 Must have mixed them up. The Republic of Ireland may have been the ones who were neutral. You guys in Belfast were / are under the British Crown, who with France declared war on Germany in 1939. It is strange that you say the Nazi's, who is after all a political party, bombed Belfast and not Germans, when even de-Nazified Germans and offspring are held responsible and liable for WWII to this day. I for one don't see anyone publicly protesting this state of affairs. You use the term.. evil.. but I guess you would not consider the British Empire evil at all? Then it is strange that you consider Germany under the Nazi's to be sectarian.. when it seem to have been less sectarian than Northern Ireland, at least in terms of Christianity. For one thing there were no wars between Catholics and Protestants in Germany then.

Ja even die fiets aantikken

Retribution should have be execution.

You just have to witness the numbers of older Dutch quite proud of their Mercedes SL's and Volkswagon Passats to understand how quickly some things like the rest of your family being starved to death or shot against a wall can be forgotten. (Sarc)

Zangkoorts B, een beetje generaliseren hoort er bij. Veel van die BS'ers zsten tijdens de bezetting in het verzet en hebben op die manier hun leven op get spel gezet.

Willem Kruit nee eigenlijk niet... de "echte" verzetshelden hielden zich kalm... ook na de bevrijding... het waren de BS'ers die c.a. 1945 pas actief werden die uitbundig lieten zien hoe "goed" ze waren

@LET IT BE TIME WILL TELL We should never inflate numbers... about 80% of Dutch Jews were deported, of whom, less than 5% returned. Those numbers are bad enough, we should stick to them though. And yes, of the Western countries, the Dutch numbers were the highest, by far.

@LET IT BE TIME WILL TELL Maybe they had a beef about them controlling diamond industry and banking.

Horrible

@zaraza608 he's right.

Tom Swift No, he’s actually not. Controlling I am assuming means a ownership (including controlling majority shares) or an executive leadership role. Then as it is now, the heritage of those are quite broad. Anti Semitic propaganda used straight up falsified information to solidify support and compliance, focusing anger while distracting from the slow depletion of civil liberties and consolidation of control. It is a tactic that has been repeated throughout history against many, and today is usually used as bait to build support and create a source of capital inflow for far right groups. The angrier they can make their supporters, the better.

It is the same with the generals. They turn up well kitted out and the ordinary soldier is open-handed.

That's how people dressed well before . Unlike now women almost have no dress on

They had all been cruelly starved by the Nazis in collective punishment for the general strike by the workers.

@@president-electarthurbombe6942 When and where did the general strike occur?

mrsillywalk I got this firsthand from a survivor eager to express gratitude to an Englishman, any Englishman: happened to be me. During the allied advance into the Low Countries in the spring of 1945. The rations for the Netherlanders was reduced to nil as retribution for the withdrawal of labour, particularly of railways. The population had nothing to eat. People were eating grass. The allied air forces dropped food supplies instead of bombs. Look it up for,yourself. It is heartbreaking.

Funny how languages work like that!

What a fkn Dumbo,yeah people using have different words for different things 😆😆🤯

They will answer to higher judge one day.

@Maximus H the guys in black are policeman, many members of the Amsterdam policeforce were deployed to assist the germans to pick up the Jewish residents of Amsterdam. Only a few cases are known of policeman who refused.

@@spring-jo8xv Most of the killers and brutal bastards at the extermination camps were German Police Officers in civilian life. Most escaped war crimes prosecution and execution after the war and simply returned to their respective police departments and lived out their lives. America fucked up when they caved to German pressure that going after these psychos was revenge motivated and the Americans wanted to avoid descent and civil disruption in post-war Germany. Hardly any fascist killers were actually brought to justice relative to the huge numbers of those who escaped it. Sad to think these assholes got away with so many murders of men, women and many children during the war.

At last, some common sense

My family has had Dutch and Danish family friends who experienced the WWII Occupation. To survive, one had to compromise some; be smart. If you openly defied the Germans you would be killed. But there were a wide range of what you could do to resist and maintain some independence. Such as a secret radio... Resistance newspapers were extremely popular in Denmark. A close family friend was in the Danish Resistance. A doctor he was in charge of Resistance newspapers underground distribution in the Horsens-Aarhus area. He also relayed Resistance Communications. The Gestapo arrested him in late 1944; he was imprisoned in Germany till war's end. Fellow Resisters smuggled in parts and built a radio. They listened to the BBC Danish Service.

Many Nazi collaborators were shot. But the police are hypocrites. At first, they themselves served the Nazis (they caught Jews and Resistance fighters), then, in one day, they became the Resistance Forces and began to arrest and shoot Nazi collaborators.

They got the German nationality?

Well, the 23rd SS Volunteer Panzer Grenadier fought on the Eastern Front and in Yugoslavia. From the wikipedia article: "The remnants of the unit were absorbed into Kampfgruppe Vieweger of the 15th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Latvian). The unit was destroyed in the Halbe pocket. After the war, the unit personnel were tried in the Netherlands, with several death sentences handed down. Wagner was extradited to Yugoslavia in 1947 to stand trial for war crimes. Found guilty before the Yugoslav military tribunal, he was sentenced to death and executed on 27 June 1947. " So I guess the ones that survived to be captured by the Russians ended up dying in the camps and becoming meals for the cannibals. No sympathy.
