Who was George Maduro?
George John Lionel Maduro was a Dutch student who served as an officer in the 1940 Battle of the Netherlands and distinguished himself in repelling the German attack on The Hague. He was posthumously awarded the medal of Knight 4th-class of the Military Order of William, the highest and oldest military decoration in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, for the valor he demonstrated in battle.
The miniature city of Madurodam is named after him, as well as the Maduroplein area in Scheveningen, in The Hague.
