Editor's Note:
Willem Twijnstra deed na Indië zo raar. "Hij moet een schop onder de kont hebben en dan aan het werk," zeiden ze in de polder.' De jongens van toen zijn oude mannen geworden, maar ze zijn helder genoeg om de waarheid te vertellen. En die is hard, niet zelden verbijsterend en vaak ontroerend. De achtergrond is bekend: het Nederlandse militair optreden in Indonesië kort na de Tweede Wereldoorlog, de `politionele acties', was in feite een koloniale oorlog.Op klompen door de dessa vertelt wat die oorlog betekende voor de mannen die het vuile werk moesten doen. Een enkeling, vooral uit het hogere kader, vindt nog altijd dat het goed is geweest. Maar de meeste jongens hebben hun trauma's nooit verwerkt. Letterlijk op klompen banjerden ze door de dessa –ze hadden geen idee wat hun te wachten stond: guerrilla, executies, oorlog dus, terwijl ze die in Nederland net achter de rug hadden. De mannen zijn ver in de tachtig en willen nu eindelijk hun hele verhaal kwijt. In Hylke Speerstra hebben ze iemand getroffen die goed kan luisteren en meesterlijk kan vertellen.
