position of General Spoor

edit

General Simon Hendrik Spoor was Army Commander in the Netherlands East Indies. This is not to be confused with the position of Chief of Staff, which is a subordinate position to a commander of any sizeable military unit. The Chief of Staff functions as an exectutive officer. General Spoor, as I already wrote, was in overall command.

I'm refering to the already named <Generaal Spoor: Triomf en tragiek van een legercommandant, J.A. de Moor, Boom, Amsterdam, ISBN 978 90 8506 709 2>
