¶ The author Frans Eduard Farwerck (1889-1969) was a Freemason between 1918 and 1934. He was very interested in the archaeological Germanic past of the Netherlands and became a member of the NSB in 1933, where he developed into an important propaganda leader alongside Anton Mussert, until he was expelled in 1940 because of his former membership of Freemasonry.
