Peter Antonius Joseph Peeters, popularly known as blacksmith Toontje, was a blacksmith and bicycle dealer. [1]
He was mainly involved in helping prisoners of war, Allied pilots and Jews. Arrested on November 16, 1943 [2], as a result of betrayal by the provocateur Vastenhout (the Englandspiel) and finally sentenced to “Nacht und Nebel” (night and fog) [3], which meant making resisters disappear without a trace. Stayed in various camps, returned in May 1945 and died in hospital in Venlo as a result of his privations. [4]
