He then underwent rigorous physical training improve himself and was then accepted into the Wffen-SS at the end of 1942. He was then 48 years old so this did not happen in a rush of youthful enthusiasm. He was married with four children. <br>He was a journalist and eventually sent to the Crimea on the Russian front to report back to the Netherlands newspapers. He was shot dead on 17/18 January 1944 after two months active service on the front.Chris Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10641870.post-37473395268020495942012-02-18T17:35:00.110+00:002012-02-18T17:35:00.110+00:00Hi Ben,

In short I don't know for sure.<br /> <br />But a few thoughts:<br /><br />Kuyper was anti-British as a result of the Boer War, this may have had some impact. <br /><br />In light of Rom 13 it may be difficult to distinguish between a lawful government and an occupying force - when does the occupying force become the lawful government?<br /><br />I haven't read his articles in The Herald - they would obviously shed more light on the issue.<br /><br />His son was a journalist and went to the front to report on the war - perhaps to do this he had to enlist?<br /><br />More questions than answers!stevebishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485378930192829175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10641870.post-15538985880919437872012-02-18T04:46:50.422+00:002012-02-18T04:46:50.422+00:00What do you think or know about the "Nazi fri...What do you think or know about the "Nazi friendly" articles? I was stunned several years back when I first read of the grandson serving in the Waffen SS. Do you think they were innocently deceived or were spiritually negligent? Good men can be duped.<br />(My first comment had a spelling glitch.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151496978820396884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10641870.post-14705658576761353582012-02-18T04:44:56.577+00:002012-02-18T04:44:56.577+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151496978820396884noreply@blogger.com
