Prosper Ego, Dutch activist, founded the Oud-Strijders Legioen (born 1927)
Prosper Ego
Prosper Joannes Gerardus Antonius Ego was the founder of the Oud-Strijders Legioen.
Oud-Strijders Legioen
The Oud-Strijders Legioen was a Dutch right-wing veterans' organization that was active after 1958 and which still maintains a web presence. Though never a big organization or a political party, the OSL exerted considerable influence in Dutch politics and was a well-known voice for conservative nationalism, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. It was led, from the beginning, by military veteran Prosper Ego.
