Andries Jan Pieters
- ... that Andries Jan Pieters, the last person to be executed by the Netherlands, might otherwise have been executed for desertion by the Germans?
- Reviewed: Roosevelt Protected Landscape
- Comment: I'm struggling a bit with how to formulate this one for the hook, not sure if it currently is ok. The most interesting fact I think is that though he was executed for war crimes by the Netherlands but might otherwise have been executed for desertion by Nazi Germany, which was on the opposing side in the war. At least that is what the journalist claims. Hook reference is in Dutch, it's this sentence: "Pieters had van de Duitsers ook de kogel gekregen, maar dan voor desertie."
