The '''Vader Era''' | The '''Vader Era''' was the historical period from 1920 to 1945, following the [[Pre-Vader Era]] and preceding the [[Middenvader Era]]. It covered the adulthood of the generation later classified as the [[Vaders]]. The [[Second World War]] dominated the final six years of the period.<ref name="timeline"/> | ||
The era | The era encompassed the rise of [[Nazi Germany]] and the Second World War. In 1944, [[Jan Paap]] founded the [[Argentine Einsatz]], while the first houses at [[Vriendendam]] were built during the [[Battle of Arnhem]].<ref name="argentine-formation"/><ref name="vriendendam-arnhem"/> | ||

The Vader Era | The opening years of the Vader Era followed the political instability created by the [[First World War]]. Germany remained under the [[Weimar Republic]] until [[Adolf Hitler]] became chancellor on 30 January 1933. The Nazi government then removed political opposition and expanded the German armed forces.<ref name="nazi-background"/> | ||
The | The expansion of the German military affected members of the families later represented among the Vaders. [[Angelo van Noord]] and [[Martin Paap (father)|Martin Paap]] entered the [[Wehrmacht]] in 1934. [[Humphrey van Hetten]] joined the [[Luftwaffe]] in 1935. [[Jan Paap]] entered the Wehrmacht in 1936, and [[Antonie Ronald Paap]] began military training in 1938 before entering German service in September 1939.<ref name="angelo-early"/><ref name="martin-military"/><ref name="humphrey-military"/><ref name="jan-military"/><ref name="antonie-military"/> | ||
Industrial activity also expanded before the war. Ten members of the [[Noord family]] moved to [[Schaan]], [[Liechtenstein]], in 1934 and incorporated [[Van Noord-Nostrini Industriewerke AG]]. Its automobile division produced the [[Van Noord Schaan Tipo A]] from 1937 to 1939. Its military engineering division later produced engines and drivetrain systems for German-aligned companies.<ref name="van-noord-industry"/> [[Schroeter Traktoren]], led by [[Ferdinand Schroeter]], maintained civilian production before redirecting part of its output towards wartime demand.<ref name="schroeter-industry"/> | |||
