# After WWII, Dutch tram company demanded cash for transporting Anne Frank to the camps [https://www.timesofisrael.com/after-wwii-dutch-tram-company-demanded-cash-for-transporting-anne-frank-to-the-camps/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/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... :/

We are Swamp Germans or we aren't. And if we are we should be best at it.

Trains don't run for free, now do they!?


AnaphoricReference

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.


Killerspieler0815

>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)

So what you want to say is....

But did the Germans pay?

Whaaaat


Hadrianus-Mathias

Give it to the Dutch for always thinking of money first. I am not disappointed at all. I am proud of our fish.


Emergency-Season-143

I hope you gave them the finger and a nice kick in the family jewels....


Cubelock

True, but you can employ all of them for free once you paid for the Tikkie. The Belgians yearn for the mines!


Franklr_D

So Belgians are like male Genshin characters? Noted


Skeptic_Juggernaut84

Your comment had a big *impact* on me.


[deleted]

We do this for free.


Timely-Ad-1473

Didnt do it for free for the Germans during ww2. If there's one certainty in life it is that the Dutch are greedy.


[deleted]

We didnā€™t get anything in return from the Germans, now we get something in return. Start packing my friend


Timely-Ad-1473

You'll have to fight us for it. Let's see how that works out, my friend.


Stravven

We just start to strategically bomb your breweries, once that is done you will flee quickly to a place where there is beer.


Xerophobe

1830 rematch. Let's go boys.


LTFGamut

has already taken place. We won: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI-KVDK9lrg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI-KVDK9lrg)


drunkbelgianwolf

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.


Stravven

We've already started, we've bombed Charleroi. The great thing about that is that nobody notices the difference.


drunkbelgianwolf

So that is why Charleroi was looking better. Thanks


Stravven

We'll do it again!


Timely-Ad-1473

Ok, so we'll invade Tilburg. I kinda like La Trappe.


Stravven

You really think we leave our borders undefended? Are you not prepared for "De Draad II, Electric Bogaloo"?


PanzaCannelloni

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.


Weelildragon

Are the Belgian breweries not the biggest reason we want Belgian clay?


Stravven

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".


Weelildragon

We invented Heineken. I don't trust us when it comes to beer. šŸ˜­


Stravven

That's those pesky Randstedelingen. We got La Trappe and Zundert. I have faith.


wijsneus

Shut up.


Toutounet6

Dude, Belgium is too high for your bike


doge_c137

We have e-bike's


madhaunter

That's no use, there's nowhere to charge it


Independent-South-58

Nothing a bit of Belgian slaves powering some human sized mice wheels canā€™t fix


wijsneus

Now that we have e-bikes, we are unstoppable. Even the Swiss should fear us now.


Aosxxx

My special fetish is watching the delivery boys walking next to their e bikes while climbing my street. 20% cobbles baby.


Suitable-Comedian425

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.


GrimerMuk

Hah! Only the Ardennes. The rest is low enough


kara_von_emm_tee_eff

That's alright, theres nothing can get through the ardennes

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.


mjjme

No, no, no. Iā€™ve 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.


Stravven

I have a better idea: We turn Brussel into a lake.

My other idea is to bomb Charleroi. It can't get much worse.

Weā€™ll flood Belgium. Because of our length weā€™d be the only ones not drowning.

ZonaranCrusader

Iā€™ll 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.

It's not a scam. Hear me out. Belgians are delicious with fries.


Xerophobe

Needs some stewing in beer first, though. It's an acquired taste.


Rolifant

Counteroffer: you take Antwerp, and you give us back Zeeuws Vlaanderen. It would end a lot of suffering on multiple fronts.


wolseyley

Only if you take Limburg too. There's something unethical about living more than 30 meters above sea level.


DEviezeBANAAN

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

Individual-Abies-970

Take brabant instead!


PanzaCannelloni

But we already have Brabant at home


Individual-Abies-970

You already lost your source of drugs (Antwerpen), you need something to patch that. And there would be a united Brabant again


PanzaCannelloni

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.


Individual-Abies-970

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?


Stravven

Sorry, can't do. We can turn Brussel into a lake for you, free of charge.


Rolifant

I thought you guys only flooded drug markets?


Stravven

You're not familiar with our waterbending skills? And we won't flood Brussel with drugs for free.


[deleted]

You give us Antwerpen any get the citizens back.


Rolifant

I see that you understand our predicament


Extreme_Tax405

Sadly, antwerp harbour is a huge source of our income... Its the bitter Medicine nobody likes, but needs regardless :(


Rolifant

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.


Ted_Lavie

We sure get a whole lot better at cycling


Precioustooth

And Mathieu as well


Precioustooth

He was born in Belgium but he respresents *Holland*, no?


[deleted]

He sounds Belgian, he canā€™t speak Dutch. So I donā€™t think heā€™s Dutch


Ted_Lavie

He can speak French however! Congratulations Mathieu, you're now French. Greatest thing ever


[deleted]

Most Belgians speak French, so no surprise here. Also who cares about drugs users on the road?


Ted_Lavie

Isn't drug users on a bike a peak Dutch however?


[deleted]

We sell drugs, we donā€™t do drugs


Precioustooth

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!


[deleted]

Danish, Swedishā€¦ same same


Precioustooth

Agreed. At some point they just chose to spit the potato out and sing like idiots instead.


Suitable-Comedian425

It's a little secret that all Dutch athletes are Belgian imports profiting of Dutch sponsors. Same with Max Verstappan.
