Association of Veteran- and present Stoottroepers

Dear visitor, welcome to the BOSS.


Welcome to Militant Netherlands, the quarterly magazine of the BOSS.

If the program 'Adobe Reader' is in your possession, you can read the Electronic issue of the 'Militant Netherlands'(in Dutch).

Strijdend Nederland or Militant Netherlands, this name dates from the Second World War and is based on the regular announcement of Radio Orange from London preceded by the impressive first notes of Beethoven's fifth symphony and followed by:

'Here Radio Orange, the voice of Militant Netherlands'.

Militant Netherlands became the magazine voice of the fighting part of the Internal Military Forces: the Stoottroepen.
The first publication was issued on December 2, 1944.

If 'Adobe Reader' is not in your possession, you can download it here free of charge.

Attention please: the time to download Militant Netherlands is rather long because the files are 1.4 mB up to 2.6 mB.
This is due to the amount of pictures and pages (depending on the issue 32 to 48 pages).

Moreover, of course we appreciate very much if you like to be a member or donor after reading Militant Netherlands.
