Overview
In 1949, the Netherlands and Indonesia signed the transfer of the colony of the Dutch East Indies, but the Netherlands kept the islands of New Guinea and called it Dutch New Guinea. Because, according to the Netherlands, New Guinea is far from ready for independence and must first help the country move from the Stone Age to the modern atomic age. What the Netherlands did not know at the time was that this decision almost led to a catastrophic war with Indonesia. And when Russia gets involved, it becomes a possible trigger for World War III. How do the Dutch - often conscripted - soldiers look back on this period? And what does this still mean for the Papuans to this day?
