Dutch leadership (Drees) direct approval of war crimes

Hi,

Some context: After the war the Social Democrat Drees became the rebuilding Prime Minister and he still has an iconic names with the left wing Socialist Party and Social Democrats getting over fights for his “heritage”. In spite of hime cancelling his membership from the first and being way to conservative for the second. The view of him has been mostly popular.

As politicians tend to start and arrange Finance for war what was his direct knowlegde about the war crimes and approval of those in Indonesia?

PS Note: There was already a radio-link with Indonesia since 1927 from Eindhoven the Netherlands so there was direct communication and thus fairly direct control was possible.
