Radio Oranje script

Radio Oranje was the programme of the Dutch government in exile in London and during the time of the German occupation it was broadcast through the transmitters of the BBC, including BBC Ottringham. This script, which was broadcast on the evening of Friday April 30th 1943, urges demobilised Dutch soldiers not to respond to orders to report to the German authorities and, if necessary, to go into hiding instead.

 

Almost all of the original scripts of Radio Oranje can be found in the archives of the NIOD Institute at Herengracht 380 in Amsterdam.
