    He has distinguished himself by performing courageous and tactful deeds in combat against the enemy, serving as commander of the troop detachment of the Staff of Area 19 (Limburg) of the O.D. In particular: when in 1942 the commander of this Area was forced to go into hiding, he has maintained the communication between his commander and the other district commanders in a tactful way for a number of years. Furthermore, weapons were assembled and repaired under his direction and he has gathered and forwarded military information about the enemy. After his arrest at the end of October 1944, he has taken a very strong stand and he has claimed all responsibility for the actions of his associates. After he had been imprisoned for four days and had been liberated by members of the O.D., he has continued his service in the O.D. with undiminished vigour. [2.1]
