orange blanje bleu pin is seen by many as the Dutch SS, I do not think so !
The White and orange-bleu (Prince Flag) NSB pin.
The third so-called "Hage Voice" of the National Socialist Movement, held in Lunteren on Monday, June 6, 1938 (second Monday), the most striking part of the meeting was announced the flag parade led by C.van Geelkerken. After some words of praise and admiration for Mussolini and after bringing a salute to the nation, who first redeemed from her shackles, was while playing the Italian fascists song, the Italian flag was raised. This was followed by hoisting the Portuguese, German, Dutch, Flemish and South African flag, each preceded by a short word of Van Geelkerken and guided by the content owners. anthems.
The public was invited to the ceremony and standing by bringing the fascist salute to follow, which invitation was prompted almost without exception. After each anthem sounded every time the "Keep-Sea"(HOU ZEE) cry. Clearly showed that Germany was the crowd favorite. The flag parade ended with lifting a 9 by 6 meters wide called "Prince Flag" at the top of the mast while playing the "Wilhelmus". At the same time around the site a number of orange flags, in a white round field a blue wolf angel, hoisted. By Van Oranje Geelkerken this flag with the new wolf angel is now accepted by the NSB flag, on which the fight will continue.
The old black-red flag is maintained for the guilds of pioneers and reserved for the WA, when the present system of government will be overthrown and brought the now banned WA openly these colors will be carried out. Despite all the squabbling relevant NSB recognizes the national flag only if the so-called "Prince Flag" with White and orange, bleu. It is remarkable that the Wolf Angel character now again completely restored, not only in the battle flag, but also is apparently a new badge as a badge set, replacing the familiar triangular badge, which new pin a wolf angel is not subject to a round white shield. This badge was on the Speech Hage already sold thousands. It was promoted with a new brochure "The Wolf Angel" written by FE Farwerck, which the meaning and value of this symbol is put out.
After closing the report on "Hage Speech" of the NSB Lunteren on June 6, 1938 appeared in the weekly and country "of June 17, 1938 an" Order of the Leader ", which Ir. Mussert informs, that during the Hage Speech "to insight has come, that he has on that day for the first time his supporters showed new flags and insignia on the wrong way was in particular that it was wrong the national flag in battle - flag of the movement to take.
