Arrested on 9 June 1941 for resistance activities, he spent the rest of World War II in German custody, first in the “Oranjehotel,” '''a prison set up by the Germans''', after which he was deported to Buchenwald via the Nazi transit camp Amersfoort. </blockquote>

I disagree with the modification" a prison set up by the Germans" which was added to the sentence.

| Recorded = [[1983]]

At the start of WWII The Dutch turned it into a prison for prisoners of war, and after the capitulation of The Netherlands the Germans took over the prison. (De Scheveningse gevangenis werd in de eerste dagen van de oorlog nog gebruikt voor Duitse krijgsgevangenen, maar na de capitulatie namen de Duitsers de gevangenis over) See http://www.oranjehotel.org/

The "Oranjehotel" was as no time a hotel but always a correction facility, and I think this needs to be specified, or the correct name of the institution used which is "Scheveningse Huis van Bewaring".(My fault but I have no idea what the English name would be for Huis van Bewaring, therefore I used it's nickname).

| Producer = [[Stewart Copeland]],<br> [[Sting]],<br> [[Andy Summers]]

A Huis of Bewaring is a place were inmates were kept in cells to await trail and sentencing. It's unclear why the place became more known by it's nickname then official name.
