** translation of describtion ** Dutch volunteers in German service. NSB-leader Anton Mussert while holding his speech to the 1st batallion of the WA-voluntary regiment just before they are sworn in at the Binnenhof, The Hague. Holland, The Hague, october 11th 1941. Behind Mussert: Rijkscommisaris generaal-luitenant Seyffardt and SS- Obergruppenfuhrer Rauter

Leenke many thanks for your translation

De beschrijving laatste zin klopt niet. Achter Mussert: vlnr. Rauter, luitenant-generaal Seyffardt en Rijkscommissaris Seyss-Inquart, De naam van de dikke rechts is mij onbekend. Achter Rauter lijkt Van Geelkerken te staan. Seyffardt was de beoogd bevelhebber van het vrijwilligerslegioen. Dat is hij in naam wel geworden, maar nooit effectief

translation: In the envelops factory Bontamps at Venlo envelops are glued by hand. This manual glueing - with a production of 6000 until 7000 envelops a day - is only being done with small numbers or odd sizes

Sound chap This Mr Swan...

"... Swan's demonstration of the light bulb at a lecture in Newcastle upon Tyne on 18 December 1878, before its invention by the American Thomas Edison ..." Now consider the idiocy of this. Swan demonstrated the light bulb, so he invented it. OK so the filament was a bit naff, and it was hard to achieve a good vacuum. Thomas Edison cannot have invented it AFTER Swan had already demonstrated it. Give Edison the credit for improving it, and creating a production line for its manufacture, but please, do not fall into that Transatlantic error of thinking Edison invented the light bulb. He did not.

Timothy Jones thanks. We've reworded the caption - we certainly don't believe it was Edison who invented the lightbulb!
