The party

The Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging (NSB, National Socialist Movement) was the most important nazi party from 1931 till 1945. After December 1941, when other Dutch nazi parties (like the NSNAP) were absorbed, it was even the only one. The NSB wanted to unite the Netherlands and Flanders, called Dietsland, that would play the second violin of a "Germanic League" of which Germany would be the leader.

Flags of the party

[First flag of the NSB] by Mark Sensen, 25 August 1999

The NSB was founded 14 December 1931 by Anton Mussert. Until 1936 a flag was used in the colours of the old Dutch tricolour, but with a design similar to the German Hakenkreuzflagge (Swastika flag). The field was orange, with on a white disc a blue wolfsangel (wolf hook), a rune sign.
