Here's a nice video with an overview of the attack. Auto-translate works with this one. A 17 yo Corporal and his mates being led by a 21 yo Lieutenant. Insane what they accomplished. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBd0e3JFhRM

Thank you for another excellent FbF and another trip down the rabbit hole in regards to his return to the Netherlands and the history of the Dutch Marines.

Thanks for commemorating this brave Dutchman.

With regard to the photo: the dignitaries visiting mr. Ramakers are not the King and Queen, but then-prime minister Mark Rutte (current secretary-general of NATO), and the minister of Defense.
