The point I'm trying to make to Keejes His Dudeness is that aggression needs to be resisted. And yes, in 1940 the Dutch did have options - resist or surrender, die on your feet or live on your knees. They opted to live on their knees.
Is that so? With todays knowledge maybe. Your point that the brits should have surrendered than too is....well who had the biggest Navy in these days? Exactly, Brittania ruled the waves. And to to conquer an Island it takes a navy, at least ships n`boats. If you cant protect em from the really big boats the brits had, than....
The appeal of nazism to Dutch and other folks (there were quite a lot foreigners in the SS, eben Russian and Ukrainian) is evident, when we look at these things we need to remember what information these people had. We look back at these things and say: "they should have...".
And its not like the Dutch said: hey come on Fritz, take our country and we will be your ally and applaud you for it.
Your opinion "they opted to live on your knees" weeps of arrogance. My best guess is that you simply have no idea how it is to live in a small country with neighbours more powerful.
