"From an illegal radio that's hidden in a large book, a member of the Dutch Resistance listens probably to a BBC broadcast.
Such broadcasts not only maintained the spirits of those in the occupied countries but also provided coded instructions for underground actions against the Germans.
Many individual Dutch were sympathetic to, and risked their lives to help hide, Jews from the Germans.
However, the Dutch government and police generally cooperated with the German occupation forces in rounding up Jews to be transported to their deaths in Poland."

The Netherlands had their own SS, and contributed one of the largest foreign contingents to the Waffen SS.
