Talk:Anton Mussert

Mussert and the SS
I think the statement that Mussert formed an SS unit is untrue, because he disliked the SS. The SS corps was probably created by his more radical pro-German opponents in the party like Rost van Tonningen/Meinoud Rost van Tonningen. It may be sourced to a reputable English language source, but I tend to distrust such sources. I read in an excellent Dutch biography that he oppposed the creation of SS volunteer corpses.

 * A quote from the Dutch article nl:Meinoud Rost van Tonningen to support my view from "In the NSB becoming a member of the Waffen-SS was in the beginning seen as high treason/Bij de NSB gold toetreden tot de Waffen-SS aanvankelijk nog als landverraad." Andries 08:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I changed the text according to Musserts biography by Jan Meyers: Mussert, een politiek leven, Amsterdam, 1984, ISBN 90-295-3113-4.--Willem Huberts 20:39, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that is the excellent biography from which I remembered that the truth was somewhat more complicated. The only problem with this biography is that it is in Dutch language. So excerpts used for this article have to be translated to maintain verifiability which is tedious and quite unnecessary, because there is not exactly a scarcity of Dutch language contributors to the English language Wikipedia.

Some information is sourced to Harry Mulisch' novel
A novel (The Assault/De aanslag) is not a good source for this article. Andries 17:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Dutch version is far more nuanced
The problem is, I guess, that there is no balanced well-researched biography in English language. I have not read the references in English language, but it is my experience that English language books about Dutch WWII subjects tend to be simplistic. Andries (talk) 11:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * And it doesn't include the preposterous story of him kidnapping Queen Wilhelmina. --41.151.21.98 (talk) 22:35, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
