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.

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.[1]

The era encompassed the rise of Nazi Germany and the Second World War. In 1944, Jan Paap founded the Argentine Einsatz in Argentina. The organization reached Tanoa on 9 August and was reorganized as the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen, with Paap becoming the first Führer of Tanoa. The first houses at Vriendendam were also built that year during the Battle of Arnhem.[2][3][4][5]

Background

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.[6]

The expansion of the German military affected members of the families later represented among the Vaders. Angelo van Noord and Martin Paap entered the Wehrmacht in 1934. Humphrey van Hetten joined the Luftwaffe in 1935. Jan Paap entered the Wehrmacht in 1936. Antonie Ronald Paap began military training in 1938 before entering German service in September 1939.[7][8][9][10][11]

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. The military engineering division later produced engines and drivetrain systems for German-aligned companies.[12] Schroeter Traktoren, led by Ferdinand Schroeter, maintained civilian production before redirecting part of its output towards wartime demand.[13]
