About the NSB
The National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB) (Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging in Nederland) started in 1931. Anton Mussert led the movement and helped it grow into the largest National Socialist party in the Netherlands.
During the 1930s, the NSB took part in elections and gained limited political support. After Germany occupied the Netherlands in World War II, the NSB worked with the Nazi regime. The movement promoted National Socialist policies and spread propaganda across the country.
For much of the occupation, the NSB operated as the only legal political party in the Netherlands. The organization remains an important topic in studies of Dutch wartime history, political extremism, and World War II propaganda.
