Description
The direct involvement of the Netherlands in World War II began with its invasion by Nazi Germany on 10 May 1940. On 15 May 1940, one day after the bombing of Rotterdam, the Dutch forces surrendered. The Dutch government and the royal family escaped and went into exile in London. Following the defeat, the Netherlands was placed under German occupation, which endured in some areas until the German surrender in May 1945.
