My father-in-law was also in the Dutch Underground. Unfortunately he did not talk of it much. I have a plaque that was used to raise funds for the underground. It become the symbol of the dutch underground and was hung proudly in their homes.
The orange lion is representative of the Dutch royal family
IK WAAK= I stand
