| biography:
| Dutch politician and economist, born in Banjumas, Indonesia. He studied in Berlin and Munich, and in 1931 set up the Dutch National Socialist Workers party (NSNAP) and, following Nazi dictates, adopted an extreme anti-Semitic attitude and promoted union with Germany. The NSNAP was disbanded during World War 2 when the National Socialist Movement (NSB) was declared the only permitted political party, and he joined the SS. After the war he was condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. |
