Dutch Nazi Politician and collaborator

Anton Adriaan Mussert (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈɑntɔˈmʏsərt];^[a] 11 May 1894 – 7 May 1946) was a Dutch politician who co-founded the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB) in 1931 and served as its leader until the party was banned in 1945.

Mussert collaborated with the German occupation government, but was granted little actual power and held the nominal title of Leider van het Nederlandsche Volk ("Leader of the Dutch People") from 1942 onwards.
