Anyone sunk a dutch ship?

I've seen quite a few Dutch and Danish vessels in convoys. Many ships from occupied countries continued to operate out of British and Allied ports. Logically the majority of any nation's merchant fleet is out at see at any one time unless called back for any reason such as impending hostilities. So quite large numbers of Dutch, Belgian, Norwegen, Danish, Free French, Polish, Greek etc. ships opted to remain outside of Axis control. This was a very brave decission and a great sacrifice that merchant crews made, as they would be separated from their homes and families for an indefinate period.
