      There's totally nothing special about that XD Find a country where they don't stand for the anthem and show respect for the flag. I mean, just really, that's not a Dutch nor German nor Swedish nor Polish nor Russian nor American thing, that's just completely normal guys. In Poland we stand for the national anthem, for Rota, for Boże coś Polskę, for Z dawna Polski Tyś Królową, for Gaude Mater Polonia and for Bogurodzica. We even stand for a Christmas carol called Bóg się rodzi. And as far as I know the Brits also stand for Jerusalem, Land of Hope and Glory, I Vow to Thee My Country etc. That's quite a common practice everywhere. Btw Wilhelmus is a very specific anthem when it comes to the lyrics, but its music is epic.

      @@DAnce-wp5ct De tekst van het lied is in de mond gelegd van Willem van Oranje, alsof hij die zelf uitgesproken heeft. De tekst weerspiegelt Willem van Oranjes tweestrijd inzake de opstand in de Nederlanden: enerzijds probeert hij als vertegenwoordiger van het staatsgezag trouw te zijn aan de Spaanse koning, anderzijds volgt hij zijn geweten dat hem voorschrijft in de eerste plaats God en het Nederlandse volk te dienen. Willem van Oranje geeft aan van Duits bloed te zijn. Dit heeft betrekking op de gebieden van het Heilige Roomse Rijk te zijn, waar in de 16e eeuw de gebieden van het huidige Duitsland en de Nederlanden onder vielen. Het is dus pertinent onjuist te beweren dat de tekst zo moet worden uitgelegd dat “wij” thans zingen van Duits bloed te zijn.

    My brother and I were hitch-hiking through the Netherlands (we wore our Scout rucksacks on which was the word Canada and our flag)............as we came to a city centre where a great crowd was assembled without knowing that they were celebrating Dutch freedom from the Nazis.......as we hiked along.....the crowd went suddenly silent and then parted to let us through......then someone spotted our flags and the word Canada and the crowd went nuts......people rushed toward us clapping and singing.....and we were literally swept up by the crowd and propelled along as the centre of attraction.......we were hugged and kissed and welcomed by everyone......it turned out that a Canadian regiment had freed the city during the war and everyone thought we were young soldier wearing Scout military pattern rucksacks......what a reception we were given.....!

      You must understand that the winter of '45 was really horrible for the still occupied parts beyond the rivers. The USA didn't really care to liberate us, they were after the war industry of Germany to get their grubby hands on the advancements made by the Germans in several technologies. If it weren't for the Canadians liberating us, we would have suffered even more because the USA would have taken their sweet time with Germany first.

    As a US Air Force officer while serving in Europe, my wife and I stood in the main square in Amsterdam as people gathered to celebrate Liberation Day. I remember the queen coming out of the her building and walking right past where I stood. She was followed by WWII veterans of the British and American armies who liberated the Netherlands. She gave a moving speech. But the thing I recall the most is the playing of the Dutch National Anthem. I was moved by its beauty. I turned to a stranger next to me who was Dutch and told him I thought the Dutch anthem was very beautiful. His face lit up and he smiled from ear to ear and thanked me for my kindness. He was very proud at that moment.

      To be historically accurate it's actually some delightfully brazen propaganda for William of Orange who was a very wiley politician and - despite what we like to think today-initially didn't want independance from Spain. Only when it became politically expedient for him did he become the great leader of the Dutch revolt.

      It tells a story. It's not an anthem about wow look our country is beautiful. It's deeper then that. Way deeper. The whole anthem is an homage to all those who fought for our freedom, and those of other nations in the Eighty Years War.

      have to disagree about melody but the lyrics of Wilhelmus are most meaningful even more than the American one (I'm American). Best melody I'd have to say is the German anthem (at least some brass versions of it are incredible).

    One of the best anthem. It's so unique and the lyrics are amazing. It's in William The Silent's perspective, and how he has felt loyalty to his land and his people, and even though he has been loyal to the King of Spain, but because of the persecution and rights not given to the Dutch people, he then turns against them. From the royal's favourite to an enemy. The anthem has a very emotional message and tune resonating to a deep wound or a yearning to one's fatherland, and God - in which William of Nassau wants to rely on and all he ever wanted to do.

      Embrace this as your anthem too. The Netherlands lay down the basics for the United States. New York was founded as New Amsterdam, the first American president that spoke another mother language then English was Maarten van Buuren (Martin Van Buren), who spoke Dutch and Dutch only. Robbert Dijkgraaf was President of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies for years. The Roosevelts and Vanderbilts were of Dutch descent. The colours of the US flag originate from the French Republican flag which originates from the Dutch flag.
