 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]During the German occupation of the Netherlands, he was responsible for the design of the Dutch coins and paper money. He was also the chief editor of the weekly magazine of the Nederlandsche SS, called Storm during two periods i.e. from April 1941 until December 1942 and from September 1944 until May 1945.
In November of 1936, Haas joined the National Socialist party as an editor for the editorial board of the newspaper NSB. Because of his previous beliefs, he no longer believed in an international socialism, but a national socialism. When Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, he was promoted to editor in chief of De vakbewwging, which is the magazine NVV. This became the weekly newspaper for the SS in the Netherlands. Not only was he an editor, he was also the designer for the coin and money that the Netherlands released during the war.
Because of his position in the Socialist Party, De Haas was wanted for arrest after the war. Once he was arrested, De Haas managed to escape. He fled to Germany, before signing up for a French legion where he worked as a photographer. He was sent to French colonies such as Algeria and Vietnam. After this, he returned to Europe under a fake name. He died in 1995.
