After the war, the government wanted to divorce German-Dutch couples: ‘What if I have to return to Germany?’ | Domestic

The National Archives made documents about Black Tulip public on Tuesday. Below it a love letter from the imprisoned Walli to her husband Theo: “If you smile at another woman, I will make mincemeat of you!”
