The discovery of a Nazi membership card in the name of late Dutch Prince Bernhard, a German who married into the Dutch royal family in the 1930s, revived calls on Friday for an inquiry into his ties to Adolf Hitler's party.
Prince Bernhard, the grandfather of Dutch King Willem Alexander, died in 2004. He consistently denied having been a Nazi although he did acknowledge membership of several Nazi military units, saying it was common for men of his age at the time.
In interviews with De Volkskrant newspaper shortly before his death, Bernhard had repeated his denial: "I can state with one hand on the Bible, I was never a Nazi," he said.Born in 1911 as Bernhard von Biesterfeld, he became a Dutch citizen and later flew combat missions for the Allies against Germany during the war.
"He was a collector, and palaces have enormous attics and basements," he said. "Perhaps he forgot he had it."
