The Stichting Oud Politieke Delinquenten ("Foundation for Political Delinquents"; abbreviated SOPD) was a Dutch right-wing organization founded by and for formerly jailed and convicted war criminals, collaborators who were associated with the German overlords during World War II. The SOPD was the first[1] and the largest of the collaboratist organizations in the country, "numbering perhaps a hundred former internees."[2]
The SOPD was founded in 1951 by Jan Hartman, formerly of the NSB,[3] the fascist party that allied itself with the German Nazi movement after the occupation of the Netherlands in 1939. Hartman became the organization's secretary. A co-founder was the lawyer Jan Wolthuis, another former NSB member who had been a "peace judge" during the German occupation,[3] essentially a political office meant to render Anton Mussert immune from prosecution.
The organization was "tolerated" by the Dutch government, but the political party formed by the organization, the Nationaal Europese Sociale Beweging ("National European Social Movement"), was banned by the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in 1954[1]/1955.[2]
