I doubt I'll properly distinguish the Dutch prononctiation of sch- as in Schipol. Apparently during WW2 the Dutch used to identify Germans masquerading as Dutch by how they pronounced this.

I was told, many years ago that it was the pronunciation of Scheveningen that they used.

I was staying with Dutch friends last year in Den Haag (The Hague) and was also told that Scheveningen was used (which is effectively a seaside suburb of Den Haag). I failed miserably to get it right but fortunately they are no longer on the lookout for German spies.
