"Many were taken advantage of" Can you expand on that?

Holland offers interesting contradictions: great expressed gratitude for liberation alongside a high degree of active collaboration.

"...and in fact it was no better than their German oppressor."

That sounds like a rather extreme statement, considering that Germanyicon basically put the Dutch on starvation rations from 1944. Not quite as bad as what Greece and some other occupied countries endured of course.
