April/May strike
In the spring of 1943, one of the largest strikes in the Netherlands during wartime took place. Because Germany suffered major losses on the Eastern Front, Dutch men had to go to Germany to work in the factories there. More than 300,000 men are taken prisoner of war for this. Many Dutch people think this measure goes too far and will stop work on April 29. Because striking farmers no longer supply milk, this strike is also called the 'milk strike'.
