"Wat je zaait, zul je oogsten", is a Dutch proverb.
I am born 25 years after WW2, my grandpa would tell me stories what his life was like in the second WW, the gruesome shit the nazi's comitted, and what they did with fokkers like this "Sir" in and after the war.
Many nazi collaborators got interned in camps themselves under harsh conditions, worst ones got shot in the dunes, where many resistance fighters like Hannie "the girl with the red hair" Schaft got executed before.
Fascism is on the rise again in the Netherlands, especially where I live in the South. It angers me.
