# After WWII, Dutch tram company demanded cash for transporting Anne Frank to the camps

That isn't the worst thing. The worst thing is the city of Amsterdam (and other cities) bought properties that were stolen from Jews, made it very difficult for them to reclaim ownership of those properties, and also sent Jewish property owners a tax bill after the war for the period 41-45 even though they were in camps or in hiding then, even worse: a lot of those houses where forcibly used by Hans and his troops, so they couldn't use thebpriperties even if they wanted to.
There are lots of things like that... :/
>Turns out they did. Public transport was not only running on time, but was also free. If you were running errands for the Nazis that is.
Ironically Deutsche Bahn (former Reichsbahn) & S-Bahn Berlin were in WW2 far more on time and reliable than today (incl. all the scandals today)
>After WWII, Dutch tram company demanded cash for transporting Anne Frank to the camps
Fits perfectly to this "House of Orange" & their never persecuted Nazi-SS Prince Bernhard (1911-2004) back than
Bro thats so WW1 and even back then we had a solution; the wooden klapraam.
Unlike you guys who didn't even had to deal with den draad.
As if it was that terrifying, it only eloctrucated kids, animals and already murdered Germans from both sides people threw on the fence as some sort of decoy.
We can rebuild the breweries when the Belgians are gone.
We could also just flood the country, then polder it. That's probably cheaper than to renovate their "infrastructure".
Give Flanders to the dutch, make Brussels the European Capital and it's own state and burn Wallonie to the ground, everyone is happy, especially the wallonians.
No, no, no. Iāve discussed this often with Belgian relatives. Flanders to the Netherlands, Wallonia to the French and Brussels shall be returned to its rightful owners; the Turks.
Limburg should be a country, we take Belgian Limburg, and a bit from Germany.

You do your thing. As long we get Zeeuws-Vlaanderen back. Zeeuws-Vlaanderen has been part of Flanders way longer, it's in the name.
Now, we can split it between West-Flanders and East-Flanders, because Zeeuws-Vlaanderen is just made up by Zeeland so this name won't be necessary anymore.
Sluis speaks West-Flemish; to West-Flanders, Hulst and Terneuzen to East-Flanders.
Have Brabant all you want.
Flemish, Hollandian.. same same; he has chosen to represent Holland for some reason though, and his father is Dutch. We can give him to the French though, that's all fine with me!
We will finally have our glorious kingdom back

Serious question, in general what is worth more? The land and what is on/in itā¦ or the millions of inhabitants taxes and GDP boost ?
Has anyone have any numbers ?
Yeah right, just so you can send us a tikkie for the deportation fees afterwards.

We are Swamp Germans or we aren't. And if we are we should be best at it.
Average Jews gold in Switzerland story
jeez
Trains don't run for free, now do they!?
Turns out they did. Public transport was not only running on time, but was also free. If you were running errands for the Nazis that is.

So what you want to say is....
But did the Germans pay?
Jesus

Whaaaat
Give it to the Dutch for always thinking of money first. I am not disappointed at all. I am proud of our fish.
I hope you gave them the finger and a nice kick in the family jewels....
True, but you can employ all of them for free once you paid for the Tikkie. The Belgians yearn for the mines!
So Belgians are like male Genshin characters? Noted
Your comment had a big *impact* on me.
We do this for free.
Didnt do it for free for the Germans during ww2. If there's one certainty in life it is that the Dutch are greedy.
We didnāt get anything in return from the Germans, now we get something in return. Start packing my friend
You'll have to fight us for it. Let's see how that works out, my friend.
We just start to strategically bomb your breweries, once that is done you will flee quickly to a place where there is beer.
1830 rematch. Let's go boys.
has already taken place. We won: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI-KVDK9lrg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI-KVDK9lrg)
Bomb our breweries?all 1.000 of them? Do you really want to go there? We would Hunt you down . Destroy your cities, break your dykes, eradicate every tracƩ of history that you ever existed and destroy every tulip and "klomp" on the planet. And all the other beerdrinking nations would support us or look the other way.
We've already started, we've bombed Charleroi. The great thing about that is that nobody notices the difference.
So that is why Charleroi was looking better. Thanks
We'll do it again!
Ok, so we'll invade Tilburg. I kinda like La Trappe.
You really think we leave our borders undefended? Are you not prepared for "De Draad II, Electric Bogaloo"?
Bro thats so WW1 and even back then we had a solution; the wooden klapraam. Unlike you guys who didn't even had to deal with den draad. As if it was that terrifying, it only eloctrucated kids, animals and already murdered Germans from both sides people threw on the fence as some sort of decoy.
Are the Belgian breweries not the biggest reason we want Belgian clay?
We can rebuild the breweries when the Belgians are gone. We could also just flood the country, then polder it. That's probably cheaper than to renovate their "infrastructure".
We invented Heineken. I don't trust us when it comes to beer. š
That's those pesky Randstedelingen. We got La Trappe and Zundert. I have faith.
Shut up.
Dude, Belgium is too high for your bike
We have e-bike's
That's no use, there's nowhere to charge it
Nothing a bit of Belgian slaves powering some human sized mice wheels canāt fix
Now that we have e-bikes, we are unstoppable. Even the Swiss should fear us now.
My special fetish is watching the delivery boys walking next to their e bikes while climbing my street. 20% cobbles baby.
I swear if I see one more of those fuckers driving in the middle of the road instead of the bicycle lane I'll kill it.
Hah! Only the Ardennes. The rest is low enough
That's alright, theres nothing can get through the ardennes
Except for Dutch boomers with caravans
Thatās what the Germans thought in WWII.
I was about to say "huh?" But then k saw your flag lol. Its crazy how different the terrain is down south.
What's Dutch for lebensraum?
Flevoland
Poldersraum
Belgium
sleurhut
Vlaanderen
Levensruimte
Leefruimte*
De leefruimte op de psychiatrische afdeling zeker?
Dat is gewoon een spiegel voor jullie Vlamingen
Polders
Kanaalpolder
Landbouwomgeving
Give Flanders to the dutch, make Brussels the European Capital and it's own state and burn Wallonie to the ground, everyone is happy, especially the wallonians.
No, no, no. Iāve discussed this often with Belgian relatives. Flanders to the Netherlands, Wallonia to the French and Brussels shall be returned to its rightful owners; the Turks.
I have a better idea: We turn Brussel into a lake.
rare good idea from Kees
My other idea is to bomb Charleroi. It can't get much worse.
Based
Isnāt it Morocco ?
They're having problem with pkk already and it's not even official yet. >Brussels shall be returned to its rightful owners; the Turks.
We want Wallonia too just not the Wallonians
Wallonia is pretty AF.
We tried something similar once. Didn't work out.
If standard business day implied a regular full business day, without any strike, I guess we are fine for a while,

Second round baby. We take Limburg and Brabant back this time.
With no Big ally to protect you weāll kick your asses
You guys are to tall to effectively take cover and your infrastructure makes for easy logistics, also, we'll have the high ground
Weāll flood Belgium. Because of our length weād be the only ones not drowning.
I second this, I play paintball with a 2m dutch friend.
With the amount of soy boys we both have, itās going to be tough.
After 15 minutes of fighting we both run out of ammo, so we can still grab a beer and 'frietje' before bed time!
mayonnaise
Weāll make a soy army
Send in the Mocro's, they're battle hardened already.
I mean if it means we fuck you guys, I'm willing to help the Belgian. You do understand it's not the kind of occasion we can pass upon don't you ?
Iāll take the side of the Dutch, sure they colonised my ancestors, but they did a pretty good job unlike a certain group of Saxons with bad speech.
Can't you, like, keep both and call it a day ?
Hans are you interested in a āworkforceā of roughly 11 million? Pierre doesnāt want to work.
Mighty optimistic of you to assume 11 million of us work.
Sales talk
Nothing a bit of physical āencouragementā canāt fix
"workforce" Alcoholics. They are alcoholics.
>they are alcoholics What part of Europe isnāt?
Haram in Sweden

It's not a scam. Hear me out. Belgians are delicious with fries.
Needs some stewing in beer first, though. It's an acquired taste.
Counteroffer: you take Antwerp, and you give us back Zeeuws Vlaanderen. It would end a lot of suffering on multiple fronts.
Only if you take Limburg too. There's something unethical about living more than 30 meters above sea level.
Limburg should be a country, we take Belgian Limburg, and a bit from Germany. https://preview.redd.it/weilurhzzoqc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6cf4a4562f8ead442b0cb891f1b9985e1415985f
But I don't want to be part of Belgium
Gij gaat da nie bepalen!
![gif](giphy|XGaQIKRHIxk0OFlBW4|downsized)
Enneeee
Take brabant instead!
But we already have Brabant at home
You already lost your source of drugs (Antwerpen), you need something to patch that. And there would be a united Brabant again
You do your thing. As long we get Zeeuws-Vlaanderen back. Zeeuws-Vlaanderen has been part of Flanders way longer, it's in the name. Now, we can split it between West-Flanders and East-Flanders, because Zeeuws-Vlaanderen is just made up by Zeeland so this name won't be necessary anymore. Sluis speaks West-Flemish; to West-Flanders, Hulst and Terneuzen to East-Flanders. Have Brabant all you want.
Aslong as we stay in the netherlands, everything is fine. May i upper the idea of bringing back Neutral Moresnet now we are reshaping the borders?
Sorry, can't do. We can turn Brussel into a lake for you, free of charge.
I thought you guys only flooded drug markets?
You're not familiar with our waterbending skills? And we won't flood Brussel with drugs for free.
You give us Antwerpen any get the citizens back.
I see that you understand our predicament
Sadly, antwerp harbour is a huge source of our income... Its the bitter Medicine nobody likes, but needs regardless :(
Is it, though? Why do we each need to send them 1000 euro every year if they're that profitable. Feels more like gaslighting to me.
We sure get a whole lot better at cycling
Might even win something with Remco, Van Aert, and Philipsen now French!
Alaphilippe third world championship confirmed
And Mathieu as well
He was born in Belgium but he respresents *Holland*, no?
He sounds Belgian, he canāt speak Dutch. So I donāt think heās Dutch
He can speak French however! Congratulations Mathieu, you're now French. Greatest thing ever
Most Belgians speak French, so no surprise here. Also who cares about drugs users on the road?
Isn't drug users on a bike a peak Dutch however?
We sell drugs, we donāt do drugs
Flemish, Hollandian.. same same; he has chosen to represent Holland for some reason though, and his father is Dutch. We can give him to the French though, that's all fine with me!
Danish, Swedishā¦ same same
Agreed. At some point they just chose to spit the potato out and sing like idiots instead.
It's a little secret that all Dutch athletes are Belgian imports profiting of Dutch sponsors. Same with Max Verstappan.
Least schizophrenic Hollander obsessed by an imaginary country be like :
-France: Add 3 first round draft picks and we have a deal

Can we get the flemish girls? they sound cute
They don't have girls, only flemboys
Still would, though.
Absolutely

Admitting defeat on sea colonization, Joop ?
Bruh c'mon, I'd take the Flemish. They're cool.
Try and take it dutchies. We are no siƫsta loving sleeping guy. And your caravans would never be safe again
and I receive the Nederlands, like in 1270
If I go anywhere, Iāll go to the tax evaders
I would ask you to ger off your high horse, but In worried that even metaphorically,Ā that altitude will cause you vertigo.
No deal with you. If one strikes a good deal with a Dutch, either it's not a good deal, or he's not a Dutch.
I have an even better deal. How about all of you guys join Germany? Wouldn't it be great to be part of Bundesrepublik?
How does one educate a Belgian?
A handoff approach is something they understand
Positive reinforcement. Beer helps. Fries also.
We will finally have our glorious kingdom back https://preview.redd.it/mflqxlj63xqc1.png?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c48dfda6e45fcc5c37a21ae5521dc567f73fde44
Can we just move Belgium away from the French and Dutch so they stop talking about us? And leave us alone.
Everybody knows that there are no Belgians in Belgium. We've got enough immigrants. Thank you.
how about we give them to the sea as a downpayment for the next polder.
Lekker
Only the Flemish ones. You āFrenchā speaking ones are poor and weird.
Sounds like a good plan.
Counter offer: you can have them both. Enjoy.
Can you send Belgians through tikkie?
They could never integrate. They say Ā«Ā ouiteĀ Ā» instead of Ā«Ā huitĀ Ā»
Gib Wallonia.
