Suriname was important to the Allies during World War IIbecause of its large bauxite deposits. On May 10, 1940 when Germany began its invasion of the Netherlands, Suriname's Governor Johannes Coenraad Kielstra [November 13, 1878-April 3, 1951] promptly released a proclamation requiring the internment of all German males over the age 15 currently in Suriname. The German cargo ship, Goslar, was in the port of Paramaribo at that time, and the crew was promptly interned at Fort Zeelandia.
