Philip and the people of Curaçao feared for their safety during World War II due to the island's strategic location and its proximity to the Caribbean, which was a potential target for Axis powers. The presence of oil refineries on the island also made it a valuable asset, raising concerns about possible attacks or invasions. Additionally, the threat of German submarines operating in the Caribbean heightened anxiety among residents about their vulnerability and the potential for conflict spilling over into their territory.
