Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Science - History / history | | Dutch term or phrase: G.I.O.W, L.O., K..P. Orde Dienst, Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten | Weet iemand of er specifieke WWII termen in het Engels bestaan voor deze organisaties?
context: archiefmateriaal van de G.I.O.W., L.O., K.P., Nationaal Steunfonds, Orde Dienst, Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten, illegale pers
bij voorbaat mijn hartelijke dank |
| | | Dutch resistance organisations / groups / movement | Explanation:
There's a link here to a fascinating article from the CIA detailing the Dutch resistance movement during WWII
(http://www.cia.gov/csi/studies/spring98/Dutch.html)
The article contains translations for most of the organisations you've detailed, but like the others I would suggest you kept the original (with a translation).
You could also use an umbrella term like I've suggested above.
Hope this helps.
