I want to insert the statement "Mussert objected to the word party and considered it a movement, but it was and is generally seen as a party." After all, even fascists have the right to self-define them. Andries 23:53, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] May 1943

I am confused by the following statement;

"After May 1943 the SS direction within the occupation became dominant and the NSB became a marginal party."

In what way do these two things relate one to the other? What form, in other words, did the SS 'direction' take and what bearing did this have on the NSB? How did these 'changes' relate to the administration of Seyss-Inquhart, and what impact did they have on Nazi policy in the Netherlands? The NSB had only at the most minimal level been involved in the occupation regime, so in what way did they become 'more marginal'? I see that two citation requests have been put on this point, but I would ask that this be cleared up as soon as possible. I personally find this sentence maddeningly ambigious.

I see the statement in question has now been removed-thanks. White Guard 07:36, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Some Jewish Membership?

I remember reading somewhere that, at least in the early stages, there were Jewish members of the party - Mussert's own view being that 'All good Dutch people are welcome in our movement' - someone else may know more about this, but I also recall that these same Jewish members were removed from the party later but 'protected' until at least the final days of the occupation - as I said, perhaps someone else knows more.

[edit] National Socialist Movement

Where does the English translation "National Socialist Movement" come from? Is it the official English name the organization used for itself, or did someone here invent it? If so, I would suggest to change it to "National Socialist Action Party"; I think that reflects the Dutch expression Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging more accurately. JdH 13:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
