Where will Wilhelm II live

November 13, 1918

William Hohenzollern - the former Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany -- has arrived at Amerongen, the home of Count Bentinck, in the Netherlands. He took a walk today, and appears to "have resigned himself to his new life."
It is understood that Wilhelm will remain at Amerongen for a short time, and will reside permanently at his villa on Corfu. It is also understand that Lt. Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, the husband of Bertha Krupp, fled with the Kaiser.

Wilhelm II's wife, Auguste Viktoria, and the former Crown Princess Cecilie and her children have remained at the New Palace in Potsdam and are under the protection of the local soldiers and workers' council. Auguste Viktoria has expressed her thanks to the council for her family's protection.
