- Jan Joseph Godfried van Voorst tot Voorst
Jan Joseph Godfried, Baron van Voorst tot Voorst (December 29, 1880, Kampen —November 11, 1963, Vierakker) was the second highest officer in command of the Dutch armed forces during World War II. He was a renowned strategist, who wrote numerous articles and books on modern warfare. He published a widely-read book on German rearmament in 1935—an early warning against Nazi militarism. He is also known for the fact that he refused to surrender, since it was not in the tradition of his family. He rather would have kept fighting. Fact|date=September 2008
