Really jonkher? This sounds Dutch to me and should have been Junker or Jungherr in German. -- JeLuF

The Dutch is jonkheer. Jeronimo

"After his release, he finished school in Lunenburg and studied law in Hamburg." Where is "Lunenburg"? There seems to be such a place in the Netherlands. Or is Lüneburg in Germany meant?
S.

Yes, he finished school in Germany, Lüneburg. He moved to the Netherlands the same time he married the queen. -- JeLuF

But "Lunenburg" is, I believe, the common English name for "Lüneburg", so our naming conventions would put the page at Lunenburg, Germany rather than at Lüneburg. — Toby 02:11 Nov 3, 2002 (UTC)

[edit] Hitler youth

The article currently states: "He was also a member of Nazi youth organisations such as Jungvolk and Hitlerjugend (said to be automatic for all members of his generation)." I'm fairly certain that the parenthetical comment is not true (that is, that membership in the Hitler Youth was not automatic) but wouldn't want to stake anything on it. I don't want to take it out without more knowledge, but I do want to flag it for someone who perhaps knows more. Remes 04:39, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
