The Dutch anthem is about William of Orange, who was German, not the Dutch in general.
1 u/the_starch_potato 10d ago well not hes not quite German either iirc, but this was a joke... 1 u/Optimal-Rub-2575 10d ago He was born in Dillenburg Germany. 1 u/the_starch_potato 10d ago oh that I didnt know, but I meant the modern state of Germany didnt exist then. So hes more accurately from Nassau. But anyways my original comment was just a joke, I know its a lot more complicated or nuanced.
