Of Modeling and Morality: Writing World War II
This contribution focuses on István Deák’s formative influence on the scholarship of Nazi occupation, collaboration, resistance, and the Holocaust, including his pan-European approach to these topics. It pays particular attention to his long-standing focus on individual decision-making and moral culpability as well as his ability to empathize with his historical actors, albeit without relativizing or justifying their behavior. Further, it discuss…
The Republic at the Table, with Decolonisation on the Agenda: The United Nations Security Council and the Question of Indonesian Representation, 1946–1947
This article examines a formative episode in the history of both the United Nations Security Council and Indonesian decolonisation. In August of 1947, Council members authorised an ad hoc delegation from the Republic of Indonesia to participate in its discussions concerning the ongoing Dutch–Indonesian conflict. Focusing on the series of developments that led to the Indonesians taking their seats at the table, this article reveals how Security Co…

Geraldien Von Frijtag Drabbe Künzel, Hitler’s Brudervolk: The Dutch and the Colonization of Occupied Eastern Europe
The Trauma of Liberation: Dutch Political Culture and the Indonesian Question in 1945
Of the mid-twentieth-century European imperial powers, only the Netherlands experienced foreign occupation during World War II, followed soon after by the declaration of independence of the East Indies, its prized possession. I argue that the first series of events constituted a “cultural trauma,” and that, after May 1945, Dutch politicians and pundits viewed developments in Indonesia through this lens of wartime trauma. By the year's end, politi…
A Unified Empire of Equal Parts: The Dutch Commonwealth Schemes of the 1920s–40s
A few short years after the end of the Second World War, the Dutch colony in the East Indies became the independent Republic of Indonesia. Importantly, the final agreement signed in 1949 also established a Dutch-Indonesian Union, a loose commonwealth connecting the two nations. Contemporary and recent observers alike have dismissed this Union as a last-ditch and ultimately futile effort by the Dutch to maintain their fading imperial authority, bu…
An Old Empire in a New Order: The Global Designs of the Dutch Nazi Party, 1931–1942
This article explores the imperial plans and policies advanced by the Dutch Nazi Party (NSB) and its leader, Anton Mussert, from the party’s inception in 1931 to the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies in early 1942. Drawing upon recent discussions concerning ‘generic fascism’ and the fascist ‘ideal type’, I argue that the Dutch Nazis consistently advanced an imperial agenda that was simultaneously defensive and expansionist. Before the …
Visions of Empire in the Nazi-Occupied Netherlands
This book explores how the experiences of World War II shaped and transformed Dutch perceptions of their centuries-old empire. Focusing on the work of leading anti-Nazi resisters, Jennifer L. Foray examines how the war forced a rethinking of colonial practices and relationships. As Dutch resisters planned for a postwar world bearing little resemblance to that of 1940, they envisioned a wide range of possibilities for their empire and its territor…
The ‘Clean Wehrmacht ’ in the German-occupied Netherlands, 1940-5
Typically, discussions of a purportedly ‘clean Wehrmacht’ — and its counterpart, the ‘barbarization of warfare’ concept — have centered upon developments in wartime Poland and the western reaches of the Soviet Union. However, the situation in Western Europe merits further analysis, if only because the notion of an apolitical, upright Wehrmacht existed in the Netherlands, too. Drawing upon situation reports generated by the Netherlands’ military o…
