The fallen resistance people in Limburg
Hendrikus Cornelis Bernard (Harry) Miltenburg worked at the police administration in Weert with the rank of deputy inspector. His collegues J.H.M. Geurts and P.W. Saes also collaborated with the L.O. in Weert. Harry was arrested after a person in hiding, who was living with Miltenburg, was arrested in Rotterdam. It turned out that this person was carrying a floor plan of the distribution office in Weert, which had probably been drawn by Miltenburg. (In many cities, raids on distribution offices were carried out, e.g., to obtain documents or to protect helpful officials. A successful example: Valkenburg). Harry was arrested together with his wife. She was soon released, but he was taken to Kamp Vught (Herzogenbusch concentration camp), where he was shot on August 30, 1944, along with more than twenty fellow prisoners.
