Family members served in a range of roles. These included industrial support units, transport and logistics services, engineering detachments, and security formations. Their work was often connected to infrastructure, supply chains, equipment maintenance, and administrative control.

During the period of National Socialist rule in Germany, a number of Hoos family members became affiliated with the [[SS (Nazi Germany)|SS]]. Some held mid-level or senior positions. Their responsibilities were commonly linked to industrial supervision, logistics management, and internal security tasks. Available records indicate that most of their service was connected to organizational and technical functions instead of frontline combat roles.

Their responsibilities were commonly linked to industrial supervision, logistics management, and internal security tasks. Available records indicate that most of their service was connected to organizational and technical functions instead of frontline combat roles.

After Germany’s defeat in 1945, involvement of Hoos family members in formal military structures declined sharply. In the postwar period, the majority of the family did not serve in armed forces. Many redirected their activities toward civilian industry and technical work in Western Europe.

== Criminal activity ==

Historical records document repeated involvement of Hoos family members in criminal activity, particularly after World War II. Convictions include assault, armed robbery, organized violence, and acts classified as terrorism under Dutch and German law.

~~These~~ activities were ~~frequently connected~~ to debt collection, enforcement operations, ~~and~~ control over industrial or logistical assets. ~~Criminal~~ involvement varied by individual and period ~~but represents~~ a recurring element in the ~~family’s~~ modern history.

Historical records document repeated involvement of Hoos family members in criminal activity, particularly in the decades following World War II. Court cases and police reports in the Netherlands and Germany list convictions for assault, armed robbery, organized violence, illegal possession of firearms, and acts classified as terrorism under national law.

Many of these activities were linked to debt collection and enforcement operations. Hoos individuals were often associated with the recovery of unpaid loans through intimidation or physical force. In some cases, disputes were connected to control over industrial sites, transport routes, warehouses, or logistical assets. The level of involvement varied by individual and time period.

An example frequently cited in internal accounts is the period referred to by family members as the ''Jaren-89''. This term describes a phase marked by violent attacks against individuals who failed to repay debts or who were considered threats to entities identified as Toetanchamon or Themis. During this period, law enforcement agencies recorded multiple incidents involving coordinated assaults and property damage.

Reports also describe cooperation in drug trafficking networks involving members of the [[Paap family]] and the [[Trust (Amsterdam)|Trust]] organization in [[Amsterdam]], led by [[Hugo Broers]]. Investigations linked certain Hoos individuals to the distribution and transport of narcotics across regional networks.

In later years, some Hoos members were involved in aggressive industrial expansion. Authorities documented cases in which property was taken or pressured into transfer to establish large factories focused on heavy vehicle and machinery production. These actions were sometimes accompanied by threats or unlawful coercion.

Illegal possession of firearms has been a recurring issue in several jurisdictions. In the [[United States]], some Hoos individuals have been investigated or charged for possession of heavy weaponry and explosive materials. Reports also describe bulk transport of sugar, diesel fuel, or ammunition across states, typically for internal distribution among family-linked operations.

In Europe, such activities have faced stricter oversight. Within areas subject to Noord administrative control, regulatory supervision and inspections have limited certain forms of expansion and weapon possession. Criminal involvement remains documented as a significant element in the modern history of the Hoos family.

These relationships developed into long-standing personal connections, later recognized as [[De Vrienden]].

== Colors ==

The Hoos family maintains a structured color system used in clothing, vehicles, industrial markings, and organizational symbols. The primary family color is white. Its use began in 1995, following the release of [[Eef Hoos]] from prison. At that time, white started appearing in clothing, vehicle paint, and property markings connected to Hoos activities.

The adoption of white became formally established in 1997 with the creation of Themis. As Themis developed into a central organizational structure, white was recognized as its official identifying color. Since then, white has been used as the main visual marker of Hoos-linked institutions and operations.

Before 1995, black served as the dominant family color. Black was closely associated with the earlier structure known as Toetanchamon. It remains in use as a heritage and statement color, reflecting continuity with the family’s earlier period. Black is often present in formal attire, insignia, and legacy equipment.

Yellow functions as the family’s tactical color. It is commonly applied to military or paramilitary-style clothing, operational gear, and specific industrial machinery markings. In some cases, yellow is used for visibility in high-risk environments or for coordinated operational identification.

The three colors—white, yellow, and black—form the core of the Hoos family’s visual identity. Each color corresponds to a defined historical phase or functional role within the family’s structure.
