The Catshuis in The Hague is the residence of the Dutch PM. During #WW2 a SS espionage school (Agentenschule West) was based here. Himmler visited this school. One of the agents which trained here was Hasan Salam. He was the senior aid of Grand Mufti al-Husseini during the war.
At the school Hasan Salam went through commando and sabotage training. In 1944 he parachuted with an SS-team into Palestine. Operation ATLAS was a failed attempt to supply local Palestinian Arab resistance groups with arms, and to direct sabotage activity at Jewish targets.
His son Hassan Salameh became the chief of operations—code name Abu Hassan—for Black September, the organization responsible for the 1972 Munich massacre and other terror attacks. He was assassinated by the Mossad in January 1979 as part of Operation Wrath of God.

In 1948 former members of the Bosnian Waffen SS Handžar division went to Palestine to join former SS-agent Salama in his fight against the Jewish people.😳 Salama had retrieved Nazi arms that had been hidden in the Egyptian desert in #WW2. Salama failed and was killed in 1948.
The officer is SS-Standartenführer Harun El-Raschid. His original name was Wilhelm Hintersatz and he was born in Brandenburg in 1886. During #WW1, he converted to Islam while serving with the general staff of the Ottoman Empire with Enver Pasha. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harun_el-Raschid_Hintersatz
