He was the son of Jan Peter Winkel, a detective with the Leeuwarden police, and Ymkje Welbedagt, a homemaker.

Winkel was conscripted into the Royal Netherlands Army in 1928 and served in Java before joining the colonial administration.

Winkel went back to the Dutch Indies in 1937, this time accompanied by his younger brother Wijtse Petrus, an artist.
