World War II
In 1941 Hanse was under the command of troops stationed in Koningstad. During the Battle of Koningstad (on May 21) he organized the city's defense but could not prevent it falling to the Germans. Hanse was arrested but by June he was working for the Nazis. He worked in the Everard government with Andreas Borst to set up the National Security Force, a pro-Nazi military force, which he would lead. Hanse was shot by resistance fighters in 1943 and he stepped up his campaign of violence. His "reign of terror" would end in 1945, when he was arrested by Brunanter troops. He remained in prison until his death in 1950.
