German declaration of war against the Netherlands At 6 : 00 AM ( Amsterdam Time ) on 10 May 1940 , during the Battle of the Netherlands , the German envoy Count " Zech von Burkensroda " gave Dutch minister of foreign affairs Van Kleffens the German declaration of war . It was only later interpreted as such by the Dutch ; from the German side it was at the time seen as a mere warning , hopefully intimidating the Dutch enough to accept German military protection . At this moment the German troops had already transgressed the Dutch border . The delivery . In the early hours of 10 May the German minister of foreign affairs Joachim von Ribbentrop ordered the German envoy in the Netherlands , Count Julius von Zech - Burkersroda , who had been living in the Netherlands for many years representing the German government , to deliver a message to the Dutch government . Around 04 : 00 local time the Dutch minister of foreign affairs Eelco van Kleffens was recalled from the Dutch war council to his department in order to receive the message . It was not easy for Van Kleffens to reach the building as The Hague was already under attack by German paratroopers and nervous Dutch soldiers manning checkpoints suspected anyone to be a fifth column ist . He was even arrested and released only on orders of the General Headquarters . On arrival Van Kleffens received the envoy around 6 : 00 in his office , who entered , guarded by two Dutch officers , in tears . He had with him a transcription in German of the telegram . He should have reformulated it , but had been unable to , apparently having been overcome by his emotions , feeling deeply ashamed of the actions by his fellow countrymen . When facing Van Kleffens he was unable to speak but merely cried ; after a while Van Kleffens asked him to hand over the paper so that he could read it himself . It was directly apparent to Van Kleffens that the message entailed an offer to become a German protectorate ( like Denmark had done a month earlier ) under threat of complete annihilation of the Dutch state if the Dutch would refuse to comply . It would have to be made clear immediately that the Netherlands intended to continue the fight together with their allies ; however , by the Dutch Constitution for a Dutch declaration of war , consent was needed of the States - General of the Netherlands . Therefore , he chose to answer that the Dutch government considered the Kingdom of the Netherland to be already in a state of war with Germany as a result of the German military action . He answered by writing a reply with a blue aniline pencil on a small paper . Many Dutch sources treat the telegram text as if it were a German declaration of war and change the typical style into standard sentences .
