Immediately after the liberation after World War II the Bijzonder Gerechtshof was a court that was installed in the Netherlands to sentence people that committed high treason, treason and war crime. There were 14,000 such cases and 145 cases lead to death penalty. Only 42 of those cases actually lead to an execution by a firing squad.

A few known people that were sentenced to death and actually executed were Max Blokzijl, Anton Mussert and as the only woman executed Ans van Dijk.
