- An iconic spot regarding World War II in the Netherlands was the Maliebaan (Utrecht). Here both the NSB (National Socialist Movement / Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging) and the German organs of power (Gestapo, SD, SS, NSDAP, Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht), the Dutch SS / Germanic SS and WA, as well as the Dutch resistance (Group Abrecht, Archbishop Johannes de Jong and people in hiding) were located. This all happened during the German occupation of the Netherlands. Learn more about the fascinating stories that took place here during the Second World War in German-occupied Netherlands.

@AS history 👌
@@HistoryHustle Dank je! (Am I writting this dutch expression correct?). Portuguese is my native language. Obrigado!
@@marcoskehl correct 👍
I wish teachers in Canada had half of your passion! The world could learn!
"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" this video gave me a whole meaning of this quote
Yes, well said.
The dutch resistance group Albrecht was one of many operating in NL during WWII. Its starting point was early 1943, when Henk de Jonge was dropped in NL on behalve of Dutch Intelligence Bureau , based in London. In the beginning it was a small ( two dozen people ), but effective in gathering information. In the beginning they struggled to get all intel to London , but from summer 1944 on it was running like clockwork.
They were creative and daring( as Stefan showed in his vid about their HQ right in the center of the german lions den at the Maliebaan in Utrecht ) ; from autumn 1944 on even using telephone lines of various regional energy companies, to give intel directly to the allied divisions .
Group Albrecht remained active untill the end of WWII.
Over 70 of its members were highly decorated and even 7 received the Military Willems Orde, the highest dutch military decoration ( very rarely awarded ; e.g in 2021 only 3 bearers of this order - 2 more of recent age and the oldest, a british WWII veteran just passed away last month reaching 102 y.o).
Thanks for sharing this, Fred!
I have walked that road without knowing this information. I knew about the NSB. I knew about the Jewish memorial outside of the Station, but most of the detail going down the road provided in this video, is new to me. When i showed my partner the film of Himmler coming/marching down the Mailebaan, she was shocked. One can imagine the abuse that followed....moving on....I am English, with Dutch residency, i have great interest in the WW2. My Country, UK, never experienced occupation. That is why i have so much interest and respect to all Ducht people that suffered under occupation
Thanks for your message!
First bicycle path you say? Truly the most quintessentially Dutch neighborhood in the country.
Very interesting video!
Great! Glad you found this interesting!
A dutch neighbourhood is not a dutch neighbourhood without bicycle paths.

I know the Maliebaan very wel, and knew that the NSB was located there, but almost every building seems to have its own WW2 history!
Thanks for telling this story!
Thank you, Bert!
Superb production, Stefan. A smooth blend of an enormous variety of both both contemporary and war-related footage, accompanied by your ( as ever ) detailed and enthusiastic narration. Many thanks !
Many thanks for your reply, Albert!
Stefan, suburb video, extremely informative. My mom's brother, Harry Stump, living in Heerlen, Limburg was a resistance fighter. He was 16 or 17 when he killed his first German. It was an extremely tragic time in European history. Immediately after the war he was guarding a prison camp housing NSB personnel and ended up marrying the daughter of an NSB member. Perhaps you might not know resistance fighters were hated by the Dutch people after the war (for every German they killed 10 or more Dutch civilians were killed). In the end my uncle emigrated to the USA and never saw the Netherlands again.
Hello Roger, many thanks for taking the time to watch and write a comment. All the best!
This format is so awesome, the on-location comparison shots really contextualize the content
Love it too, thank you!
Wow!!! What a phenomenal video. Have you ever taken any of your history classes on field trips down the maliebaan to discuss some of the buildings and their significance ?? Thank you so much for sharing it’s amazing seeing some of these buildings today compared to the past!
Not yet! Would be a great field trip. Thank you!
How awesome it would be to own a building with stories like these
Yeah indeed. Yet, these buildings today will cost you a fortune haha!
What amazing concentration of history in such a small place ! Thank you for all this information. I am impressed by your knowledge and your enthusiasm. You must love your job a lot.
Yes, it's great. Thanks for your reply!!
Thanks Stefan! I have Jewish relatives in Holland who were kids before the war. They don't like to talk about it, so these documentaries are very valuable. Keep up the great work! You're a great teacher.
Thanks for watching.
Great, great video ! Very detailed Congrats. A big hug from Argentina.
Many thanks for your reply!
Mooi in beeld gebracht en uitgelegd. Geweldig om naar te kijken.
Bedankt, Henk!
Once again, a solid story that connects the dots, so to speak. And once again, I learned something. Groeten uit de Zwitserse Jura!
Thank you, Rob!
Thank you Stefan. I am learning a lot about Netherlands in WW2.
Great!
So much history crammed into this area, so interesting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Indeed! A very interesting location. THANKS!
Thanks for posting these videos. I'm Canadian and I like to see the Dutch perspective as my father and Uncle "visited" the Netherlands in the first part of the 1940's. They were working for the King.
Interesting to read. Thank you for your reply!
Ik wist van de Maliebaan en zijn verleden, maar heb het tot nu toe nog niet zo duidelijk het hele verhaal gehoord. Fantastische video!
Bedankt, Sem!
Im an American who had all 4 grandparents come from Netherlands. Love your work
👍
Loving your content, knowledge, and vibe, really enjoying your microhistories 😃
👍👍👍
There was even more going on than I thought. Great video and story.
👍👍👍
Thanks Stefan, nog wat geleerd over me stadsie!😊
Yes!
Excellent location Education, interesting and visual, Thank You for sharing Stephon
Many thanks!!
My Uncle Roland told me how the resistance was respected and those who collaborated were despised. He was a teenager who hated Germans and collaborators. Heldaftigheld en Moed are your legacy. Honger was het resulaat. Je veerkracht en weerstand zijnde de trots van de wereld. From Australia with from Roland De Groot and I.
Thanks for your reply!
Food for thought
indeed
Stefan I am already subscribed to your channel since last year
👍 Great!

Thanks for the great presentation of such an historic area..Fantastic video
Are you sure Onkel Heini wasn't there for a seance, trying to conjure up mystical powers from the dark depths of the occult?
Nah, don't thank so. Thanks for your reply once else!
Weer een geweldige aflevering en met veel overtuiging en duidelijkheid verteld, echt TOP
Leuk om te lezen. Bedankt!
I know you do mostly WWII videos, but how about a video on pillarisation (verzuiling) in the Netherlands?
I'm afraid not anytime soon, since both myself and most viewers aren't that much interested in the topic. I do mention it in this video as well as the one of the NSB.
Very interesting enjoying your videos very much👍
Thank you Paul.
My father, Hubrecht, was born in Utrecht in 1937 with a large family born both before and after the War, Sadly he passed when I was young 1971, so I do not know much although I have been told that he used to steal Bread from German Sailors when he went with the Priest to serve communion to the Germans. The Priest apparently gave instant absolution and told him it was not a sin.
Thank you, Adriaan, for watching and commenting.
Very interesting. My dad's family was friends with some Dutch Underground folks who moved to Canada after the war. I heard a number of the more exciting stories but never the "dull" details of various organizations and their history. Also, Utrecht caught my eye as my great grandmother was from there and G grandfather from Ede. A lot of history has happened in that river area.
Thank you, William, for replying and watching!
Stephan have you ever thought of doing a picture overlay. I don't know how you do it but it sure would be interesting to see.
I did try to do some overlay in this video, but it's actually much harder than you think you know. For example the tumbnail (also the first image in the video). I've passed that spot many times now and keep trying to figure out the exact same spot, but it's hard. Haven't been able to find it yet...
Thank you for your reply so soon. I don't have any idea of how it would be done but wouldn't it be cool to see. I think obsolete oddie does it sometimes on his site. Stay safe out there
Interessante aflevering wederom, uiterst informatief. Een drukke boel op de Maliebaan, het episch centrum van het nationaal socialisme van Nederland en van onze oosterburen.
Inderdaad ja, en natuurlijk in wat kleinere schaal het verzet.
hiding in plain sight is an effective strategy
Indeed.
Wow, what a tale of the buildings, so absorbed in the documentary my hot chocolate is not so hot now. Another interesting Saturday night history lesson. Beautiful architecture by the way.
Very nice street indeed. Thanks for your reply!
Thank god this appeared , something intresting to watch on youtube .😁
Great!
@@HistoryHustle yes your page is . 😃😃

Nice man i realy like your movies
Great to read!
Thanks, I wish I had taken history as a subject and have you as my teacher. But I am making up for it now by watching all your videos, thanks and I love the content.
Many thanks for your reply, Andrew.
Did not know about that street.Thanks.
👍
I served at AFCENT and lived in BRUNSSUM, visited UTRECHT many, many times, shocked to learn that such a lovely place had such a recent horrible history.
Thanks for your reply!
I’m British and used to live in the Wittevrouwe area of Utrecht 10 years ago and I didn’t know this 👍🏻😃
Thanks for your reply 👍
That was really interesting thank you Stefan
👍👍👍
i am from Indonesian and my grandfather was fight with Dutch on Indonesian independent, we forgive Dutch but never forget about dutch war on Indonesian, greeting from indonesian 🇲🇨
Okay. Not really related to this video but thanks for sharing this.
Very cool to see what the street looks like now and then.
Yes, I find that too!
You could make a tv series out of this: nazis, collaborators and the Resistance, all working in the same street. It could be a nice portrait of the Netherlands during the war.
For sure! A motion picture or anything. Would be awesome. Perhaps one day this will be made.
Amazing! All on one street!
Indeed!
Thank you Stefan, I am learning a lot about Netherlands WW2 History.(from Mary in Dublin)
Great! Here's the playlist so you can see if you haven't missed a video ;)
ruclips.net/video/_IIsY664tE4/видео.html
very interesting to learn more & thank you🇺🇸
👍👍👍
Very interesting. One small mistake I think. You mention a "trade union", but I think you meant "labour union" (vakbond).
Check.
Very interesting. Thank you. Regards from Sweden.
Thank you, best regards!
Jeez I will say that they had good taste in buildings!!
That’s some beautiful architecture!!
Wow some crazy history in those walls!
Thanks again for another stunning production!
I would advise you to delete this post.
@@Page-Hendryx you must be drunk or high?
How about you just rewrite history the way you like??
Maybe pick some ol wooden shacks?
Sorry the buildings look good.
Hey Mike, thanks for your enthusiast reply. It's a very nice street. Went through it again yesterday.
@Page-Hendryx ??
Intéressant
Thanks!
Very cool town to visit, in any case, if you get to visit. I guess I need to visit again and honor the hero Dutch Resistance fighters.
weer een fijne video.
Dank!
You forgot to mention number 42, residence of Frits Fentener van Vlissingen, one of the biggest and most important economic collaborators of the Nazis in Europe. ( See Gerard Aalders book, operation Safehaven) People like him made it possible that the Nazi war economy could function and therefore prolonged the suffering of millions. Frits made after the war a remarkable comeback as a resistance fighter, due to his royal and political connections he was made head of the commission that investigated economical collaboration!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Excellent piece of work.
👌 Thanks
Thank you for another very informative lesson!!
👍👍👍
The best fittinh add i had for a yt video "de slag om de schelde" on this yt video
Wellicht in de toekomst. Ik praat erover in deze video:
ruclips.net/video/Kg5GEEMtCsI/видео.html
In the UK I grew up with a father who fought in ww2 He was 100 percent sure the dutch people were V brave people People you can trust The nazi ones were the few You always get a few Inadequate s or bullies but never forget the Dutch suffered more than most at the hands of Germany in ww2
When the Germans first invaded they were on their best behavior and acted like gentlemen since they were fellow Germanics. They were polite and paid for everything. If you were a Jew or a "problem" then it wasn't so great. However, as the war turned against Germany the nice gloves came off and Germans started taking horses, sheep, pigs, any food item basically.
As things got worse they started forced labor roundups down to age 14. They'd surround an area then clean out the new workers and march on foot to Germany. One of our neighbors (in the US) was 14 when he was rounded up. The Germans marched them at night to avoid Allied aircraft. They'd fire machinegun bursts along the sides to discourage escaping.
Jan figured out the timing of the bursts and at the right time he dove into a ditch and hid until everyone was gone. Then he went home. Incredibly he got snagged later in another labor roundup and he escaped again using the same method.!! He's still alive today.
Thanks for your reply!
@@williamfluit6198 When the Germans first occupied Groningen, they said they would not do anything to the citizenry. It wasn't long after that, they started rounding up any man with military experience and sent them to Labour camps. My grandfather was one such person. They sent him to Norderney island for the duration of the war. He managed to survive the ordeal. A friend of his that was there as well, committed suicide after the war. My grandfather said he had trouble dealing with what they went through.
I have been told that Dutch resistance fighters tested suspected Germans by having them say 77 Scheveningen Straat and if they couldn't they were thrown off a roof.
I know about 'Scheveningen', but perhaps that was only because of the movie Soldaat van Oranje from the late 1970s.
@@HistoryHustle I saw the movie and I forgot about that being in it. I was in Den Hague in the eighties, just long enough to become fond of the Dutch and realize they were culturally quite different from Americans.
Very interesting Maliebaan, Utrecht. Can you do a video about The Hague too? That’s where I come from.
Nieuwe Parklaan and center. That’s were most of the German offices were.
And I wonder what happened at Ypenburg during the war. Was that an active airforce base?
Ypenburg I recorded but video will be uploaded after Summer.
Hallo hustler, weer een geweldig programma, nu een persoonlijke vraag, voor mij , welke mensen zijn na de oorlog geinterneerd en tewerkgesteld in de limburgse meinen ? Landstorm ,wa of ss ??? Veel later een goede vriend van mijn familie.
Over naoorlogse berechting hoop ik in de toekomst een video te maken! 👍
Weer een mooie video man 👍
👍 Thanks, Cas!
Coming to Netherlands this year. Planning to see Breda, Den Hague, Wilhelm's II tomb for sure. Any Dutch person that'd be that nice and tell me of other important historical republican, royal places I should see? I'll smoke on some things too but I want to see the real Netherlands in the first place.
👌🏻 enjoy
Den Bosch(easily reachable by train from Breda) has quite some old buildings and artisans left in it's city centre so you'll be able to get a taste of how it used to be. Maastricht(further to the south) also has a lot of old buildings still intact and well maintained. Other noteworthy cities to visit include: Alkmaar, Leiden, Utrecht(the city from this video), Leeuwarden, Middelburg, Nijmegen and then there's the more standard tourist oriented ones as Giethoorn, Edam, Gouda, Haarlem, Volendam, Delft.
However in my opinion, to see the real (contemporary) Netherlands it's best to actually avoid most bigger cities (or at least their city centre's), venture out to the smaller cities and maybe try to plan a trip throughout the provinces. There's also some really neat villages spread throughout the Netherlands that have chosen to remain in the older styles, varying from the late middle ages to renaissance times or the early 1800's.
Yes you’re right. A town one should visit when interested in the Dutch history is Brielle. Half an hour West from Rotterdam. Here is where the Netherlands started April 1st, 1572. The ‘Watergeuzen’ kicked out the Spanish army and from Brielle, the rest of the Netherlands were taken over from Philips II.
Don't skip Utrecht ;)
interesting stories with a dutch flavor which we do not get in the UK
🇳🇱👍
Interesting I've heard of that street, thanks
👍
You NEVER want to be taken to any SD building!!!!
Indeed.
2:15 man, just high five them allready!
Ok.
Dank je.
Graag gedaan!
Van wie zijn die gebouwen nu ? Zijn het museums?
Veel kantoren. Sommige woonhuizen. #35 is nu een kinderdagverblijf.
When historians will look back on this time.
Who will be identified as the "collaborators" and who will be the "resistance"?
Today? Can't say.
Weer Wat Wijzer. Bedankt kerel!
Groet, T.
👍
Hele leuke video, van Nederlandse bodem! :)
Bedankt!!
Too bad the dutch never were allowed to put their terms in the treaties of yalta as the dutch played a significant role and suffered a lot like poland and the soviet union
There were plans for annexations of West German lands, but these were dropped.
"suffered a lot like poland and the soviet union" Wat een kolder!
@@thilgu polands fate was way worse!
@@MsErikdeking begrijpend lezen!
@@thilgu ja, dat zeg ik toch!
" In 1672, French King Louis XIV visited Utrecht..." Well.. that's one way to put it. That was during the Great Tourist Season of 1672-1674 when the "tourists" still came from France. The only problem was: they didn't show their passports at the border, behaved rather badly and overstayed their welcome a bit.
A bit like the Germans in 1940-1945.
I see!
@@HistoryHustle Sometimes we need a bit of black humour. Loved the understatement.
lijkt wel de dreef te haarlem erg grappig
Oké! Moet ik ook eens gaan kijken.
that is a bold statement about Himmler's visit. please name your sources to substantiate that claim.
See SOURCES below video.
@@HistoryHustle those sources have no proof, only conspiracy theories... your claim should be stated as such, not as "the real reason (...) most likely"...
@@Haasenpad it's no conspiracy theorie, it's supported by historians Loe de Jong and Aad van Liempt. He was on a 4 day trip, the 19th of may he was on the Maliebaan, within two months deportations began. His intinerary covered all major Nazi players Seys-Inquart, Rauter (SS) and Harster(SD). The third most powerfull man in germany isn't coming over to take the oath of some SS men, he came to check if everything was ready for smooth mass deportations. This was a main nazi goal.
@@rickglorie you are a conspiracy theorist when you do the exact same as them... you do, so you are too! thank you
@@Haasenpad the nazi's were indeed conspiracy theorists, I am not. Lou de Jong was a leading historian of the NIOD, thé dutch institute on documentation on what happened in The Netherlands during the war.
I wonder if any NSB members joined the resistance because they were Dutch first, and or disgusted by the antisemitic infiltration
Not sure.
I want a flemish version now.
Please watch:
ruclips.net/video/wA5NbiD-wVQ/видео.html
Holland hardly had any resistance fighters. Far more people in holland were pro-Germany
During WW2 in the Netherlands around 5% was in the resistance and 10% collaborated. I covered Dutch collaboration quite a bit on this channel. Please check:
ruclips.net/video/bQlF0ia-ABA/видео.html
But what about the soviets???
Lol. Soon!
I've got my stupid Nazi uniform and my stupid A. H. moustache, I'm soooo coool ...
Dutch resistence? Ha ha ha, you mean collaborators don't you?
Ha ha ha, watch the video.
When bravery is defined by union members refusing to join a nazi union, you're sure to get conquered again. Please work on that.
Please explain.
