Norway was invaded by Nazi Germany in 1940, and this could well be a symbol of patriotism. It would have had to be hidden for some time though. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Netherlands had &quot;Resistance jewellery&quot; during WWII, often made from coins with the head of Queen Wilhelmina or painted wooden cutouts of the initials of the royal family. Those couldn&#039;t be worn out in the open, but would be worn privately, with like-minded people. </p><p>Fun detail, the ladies who still wore regional dress with its wide skirts would wear three underskirts in red, white and blue, the colours of the Dutch flag.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
