Things got pretty complicated after the invasion/occupation, and the World Cup final of 1974. But lately things got way better. They had the stable reign of Merkel for 16 years, and Rutte is our president with the longest term (13 years). These two became besties, and now Germany and NL have merged their land army forces. So 1940 can’t be repeated anymore. The place art is in line with our ongoing improving situationship.

I have a Dutch friend that told me about some of these mixed feelings and complexities stemming from WWII, glad the relationship between NL and DE has improved! I love both countries
