Extract

In 1951 when the Dutch Parliament discussed the Bills concerning Allocation of Enemy Property and Amendment to the provisions of the Decree on Enemy Property, few members stood up for the German farmers who held land in the Netherlands along the border. This matter would have meant little to most Dutchmen. Yet, considering the delicate nature of border disputes, it was important for the Netherlands. Below I shall discuss on the subject of border lands, more specifically those along the eastern border.
