Speedy J: Follow The Speeder
Push, Muzik, May 1997
DON'T MENTION the war. Unless you are in Rotterdam. Because if you are in Rotterdam, you really should know that on 14 May 1940, a mere two hours after the invading German forces had asked the Dutch to surrender, Luftwaffe bombers razed the entire inner city to the ground, causing 3,000 casualties in the process. Most of the dead were civilians.
