G2G: What supercategories to use for Category "Deutsche Dienstpost Niederlande"?

Question

Hello,

I have recently worked on a few profiles were the person was employed by/ or working at "Deutsche Dienstpost Niederlande", which was the German postal mail system in the Netherlands, while the Netherlands was under Nazi-German occupation in World War II. Among other things, the Deutsche Dienstpost Niederlands was responsible to deliver mail to and from German occupational authorities in the Netherlands as well as the "Feldpost" of the soldiers stationed in the country.

Where to put this category now?  

Jelena Eckstädt suggested that this could fit as a sub-category under "Postal Workers" as it has some occupational links.

There is potentially also an opportunity to assign this category as a sub-category within a "war" category, or within the German or Netherlands projects or somewhere in between, although the chapter is obviously a very dark one in the relationships between the two countries. However, I thought it might help to keep the memory about it and see who was involved.

Thanks for your consideration,

Sven

Answer 1

I think one of the parent categories can be either under "Postal Services" (since it is a postal organization) or under "Postal Workers" since the persons in it were postal workers. That doesn't exclude the parentage of Netherlands, World War II.

Answer 2

Maybe it could be a sub-category of https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Netherlands, World_War_II?

Answer 3

Hallo Sven,

wie der Name sagt, handelt es sich um deutsche DIENSTpost während des II. Weltkriegs, also nicht die niederländische Post.

Answer 4

OK, thanks all for your input. I am adding it to Postal Services, Germany World War II and Netherlands World War II (as it is potentially relevant from the view of the occupier and the occupied). I hope this is okay.
