  • Pieter Sjoerds Gerbrandy (13 April 1885 – 7 September 1961), Dutch politician, was born in the village of Goënga near Sneek, in the Netherlands. From 1920 to 1930 he was a member of the States of Friesland for the Anti-Revolutionaire Partij (ARP), and became a professor at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam (1930). Against his party's advice he was Minister of Justice (1939). The royal family and many leading politicians had fled to London in 1940. There, they formed a government in exile. After De Geer's resignation and because of Gerbrandy's rejection of De Geer's defeatism, Queen Wilhemina appointed him as prime minister of the Dutch government in exile, serving in turn as minister of justice, the Colonies, and the general conduct of the War. On his initiative, the Dutch government started to broadcast from Radio Oranje. This station supplied the Dutch population with information from the free world. In 1945, after the liberation of the south, he formed a new cabinet without socialists, which was alleged to be strictly subordinated to the military rule. He resigned after the total liberation. He strongly opposed the government's ‘Indonesian policy’, and in 1946–50 chaired the National Committee for the Maintenance of the Kingdom's Unity, which was against the separation of Indonesia and supported the idea of a Republic of the South Moluccas. In 1948 he returned in the Dutch Parliament. However, because of his hot temper, he alienated himself from his party members. In 1956 he was member of a commission, which investigated the affair around Greet Hofmans. In 1959 he resigned as a member of Parliament, and two years later, he died in The Hague.
  • Pieter Sjoerds Gerbrandy war vom 3. September 1940 bis 24. Juni 1945 Ministerpräsident der niederländischen Exilregierung in London. Von 1920 bis 1930 war er Mitglied des Provinzparlaments von Friesland für die Anti-Revolutionaire Partij (ARP). Später war er Jura-Professor an der Freien Universität Amsterdam und seit 1939 niederländischer Justizminister. Nach dem deutschen Angriff auf die Niederlande kapitulierten diese am 14. Mai 1940. Die königliche Familie und die Regierung flohen nach London. Gerbrandy übernahm das Amt des Ministerpräsidenten der Exilregierung in London. Er erklärte am 8. Dezember 1941, am Tag nach dem japanischen Angriff auf Pearl Harbor, Japan den Krieg. Am 4. September kündigte er über Radio Oranje den Niederländern die baldige Befreiung an. Der Schwerpunkt der militärischen Aktionen der Alliierten verlegte sich jedoch dann in Richtung Deutschland, so dass es im Zusammenhang mit einem von ihm initiierten Eisenbahnerstreik und dem folgenden Embargo durch die deutsche Besatzung unter Arthur Seyß-Inquart zum Zusammenbruch der Lebensmittelversorgung der Bevölkerung und einem Hungerwinter in den Niederlanden kam. Erst im April 1945 konnte er in die Niederlande zurückkehren. Nach seinem Rücktritt bekämpfte er insbesondere die Ostasienpolitik der neuen Regierung. 1955 wurde ihm der Ehrenrang eines Staatsministers verliehen.
