WW2 Dutch Soldier Minifigure

During World War II, Germany planned to invade the Low Countries. This would provide them with a strategic base against Great Britain and prevent an Allied attack on the vital Ruhr region. Although the Netherlands, like its neighbors, began rearmament when Hitler came to power, this was done cautiously to avoid provoking a German reaction. When Germany finally invaded, the Dutch army was poorly armed and equipped to resist. The centuries-old Dutch tactic of flooding parts of the countryside to protect the major western cities, the Dutch Waterline, was modernized with forts and bunkers. Despite the Dutch efforts, the German advance was all but inevitable. With superior ground forces, the use of paratroopers, and devastating bombardments by the Luftwaffe, the country was quickly overwhelmed and forced to surrender.
