Both are deserters from the Royal Netherlands Army. Both have been declared traitors by their countrymen and will probably be shot if the Dutch ever get around to catching them. But they think differently, They say they are proud to be Dutchmen, deny they are traitors and doubt whether they wiit ever be caught. They HTLY that according to an old democratic Dutch custom they are permitted to follow their own convictions and that they are falling back on this unwritten Dutch law in de- fence of their actions. Both now claim Indonesian citizenship.
They are 20-year-old Harry Hulsker and 40-year-old Fredrich Willenstein. Both come from Amsterdam. They are second lieutenants in the Republican Army and admit having fought on the side of the Republicans. Here is their story:

He claimed: "There are other Dutchmen who feel the same."
