Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Soldier of Orange aka Soldaat van Oranje is a 1977 Dutch epic war film set during World War II.Directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Rutger Hauer, it is an adaptation of the 1970 memoirs of a Dutch war veteran and resistance fighter. In pre-war Holland, five friends toast to the future. When the Netherlands is invaded by Germany, they each go their separate ways as some join the resistance and others try to quietly cope with the occupation.It was adapted for the stage in 2010.Verhoeven's later film Black Book is more or less its Spiritual Antithesis.

Bavarian Fire Drill: The film features one of the ballsier examples, when a Dutch Resistance member is able to infiltrate a German officer's party in a British Royal Navy officer's uniform, because it looks similar enough to a Kriegsmarine one "...at a distance". At one point, he bluffs his way right through a German roadblock by looking the guards in the eyes sternly. They are left wondering about the meaning of that strange, crown-like emblem on his hat.

Black-and-White Morality: The Dutch resistance and their British allies are clearly heroic, the German occupiers and their fascist collaborators are clearly evil. Notably, this contrasts with Verhoeven's later film Zwartboek, which applies Black-and-Gray Morality to the same conflict.
