Het KNMI in de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

Meteorologische waarnemingen en weersverwachtingen zijn van groot militair belang. Het is dan ook niet verwonderlijk dat vrijwel direct na de capitulatie het KNMI een Duitse leider kreeg die ervoor moest zorgen dat geen informatie in handen van de geallieerden kon komen. De K van Koninklijk moest verdwijnen, operationele taken werden verboden, maar onderzoek mocht worden voortgezet. De dagelijkse weersverwachting in de krant verdween op 10 mei 1940 en kwam pas weer terug op 14 augustus 1945. Dit boek beschrijft deze uitzonderlijke periode uit de geschiedenis van het KNMI.

Ook geeft het boek een unieke analyse van de weerssituatie rond de invasie in Normandië door recent opgedoken weerkaarten en het laat het enorme verschil zien  in meteorologische informatie waarover Duitsers en Geallieerden beschikten. De vraag of KNMI met de bezetter heeft meegewerkt krijgt speciale aandacht. Na de bevrijding was een deel van het personeel kritisch over de houding van de Directie tegenover de Duitse leiding. Maar ook de naoorlogse zuivering, die tot enkele berispingen leidde, werd gewantrouwd.

Dat niettemin het KNMI in korte tijd zijn taak in de Nederlandse samenleving weer kon vervullen, is te danken aan de nieuwe hoofddirecteur prof. dr. F. Vening Meinesz die in mei 1945 de leiding van het Instituut op zich nam. Hij is in staat geweest het vertrouwen van het personeel te herwinnen en samen met zijn directieleden het KNMI weer op te bouwen.

100% Cotton Pillows .
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2, Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These pillows feel soft and fluffy without being too flat. They provide nice support for the neck and feel comfortable whether sleeping on your side or back. After several nights of use, they still keep their shape well and don’t feel too warm during the night. The set comes with two pillows, which makes it really practical for the bed.

Luxury Comfort and Perfect Support – Best Pillows Ever!
Color: White, Size: King Size Set of 2
I recently purchased the Serta Hotel collection Pillows White Goose Feather Down Fiber Gusseted, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! These pillows are the perfect balance of softness and support — plush enough to feel luxurious, yet firm enough to keep my neck properly aligned all night. The gusseted edges really make a difference, helping the pillow hold its shape and look full even after weeks of use. The quality of the materials is excellent — the outer cover feels smooth and breathable, and there’s no feather poking out like with cheaper options. I also appreciate that they fluff back up easily after use, making the bed look hotel-perfect every morning. If you’re looking for comfortable, high-quality pillows that provide great value for the price, I highly recommend these. They’ve truly improved my sleep!

Good quality pillows
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These are very soft and supportive as advertised. W find them a little too thick for my taste (why I only gave 4 stars), but personal preference is very subjective with pillows. They are well made and high quality, and am happy with my purchase.

Overall, not that comfortable!
Color: White, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
Only okay. I find these pillows to be heavy, and not very conforming. Overall, not that great.

goose down pillows.
Color: White, Size: King Size Set of 2
Since receiving them, these king-size white goose down pillows have truly transformed my sleep. They are incredibly soft and fluffy to the touch, so plush it's hard to believe they hold their shape. Sleeping on them is like lying on a cloud. The 100% cotton cover adds extra comfort: it feels cool to the touch, breathes well throughout the night, and helps me maintain a comfortable temperature while I sleep. Furthermore, the "reinforced fiber" structure is noticeable: after several weeks of use, the pillows retain their support; they don't clump or lose their shape, ensuring consistently good rest. I find they have the ideal balance between firmness and softness: firm enough to support my neck and head, yet plush enough to adapt to my posture without creating pressure. This has improved my nights; I sleep more soundly and wake up with less stiffness in my neck. In short: these pillows combine luxury, comfort, and durability. If you're looking to improve your sleep quality with soft, firm, and breathable pillows—especially in king size—these are perfect. Definitely one of the best investments you can make for better sleep.
