NAZIS IN HOLLAND
MURDER OF DUTCH HOSTAGES. DR. GERBRANDY’S PROMISE OF RETRIBUTION. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, August 15. Dr. Gerbrandy, the Netherlands Premier, speaking in London on Saturday, said five hostages had been arrested in the Netherlands because the perpetrators of a sabotage attempt on a German train had not come forward. He said: “Sabotage is’ one of the real proofs that Hitler, even if he should win the war, would not be*’ able to establish real rule. It. is exactly the consciousness of this which makes this despicable tyrant seize the means of murdering innocent hostages. But the moment will come when the Netherlands Government on its own territory will have the power of trying those who have committed war crimes.” The Hilversum radio says that the Quisling Christiansen announced that the five Dutch hostages were shot for sabotage because the perpetrators of a high explosive attempt at Rotterdam were too cowardly to give themselves up.
