Mobilized Dutch soldiers when the Japanese Red Army occupied the French Embassy in The Hague in 1974

The 1974 French Embassy attack in The Hague was an attack and siege on the French Embassy in The Hague in the Netherlands starting on Friday 13 September 1974. Three members of the Japanese Red Army (JRA) stormed the embassy, demanding the release of their member Yatsuka Furuya. The ambassador and ten other people were taken hostage. The siege and negotiations lasted five days, resulting in the release of Furuya, the embassy hostages and a safe flight out of the Netherlands for the terrorists. During the incident, a café in Paris was bombed which was linked to the embassy crisis.

After lengthy negotiations, the hostages were freed in exchange for the release of a jailed Red Army member (Yatsuka Furuya), $300,000 and the use of an aircraft. The hostage-takers flew first to Aden, South Yemen, where they were not accepted and then to Syria. Syria did not consider hostage-taking for money revolutionary, and forced them to give up their ransom and weapons.

Is it my slight impression, or are the soldiers with beards, mustaches and long hair? Could it be because the 70's hit them so hard?

It was the 70 s. The Bundeswehr in Germany also allowed this. There were even hair nets for soldiers. So I guess the much more liberal NL also went this way.

They were known internationally as the "hippie army" for good reason

Before the Karel Doorman was sold to Argentina, Douglas had considered selling A-4 Skyhawks to the Netherlands as replacements for the Sea Hawks.
