Jo Giebels


 06-09-1909 Linne      05-04-1944 Bergen Belsen (34)
- Underground Press - Initial resistance - Brunssum - Group Smit -

    The primary school teacher J.M.R. Giebels was a member of the Smit group. The cost of the weapons purchases was met with the proceeds from the sale of photographs of the royal family. The British R.A.F. dropped these regularly, whereupon Giebels, the pit assistant overseer A.M. van Puffelen from Brunssum and the photographer J. Daniëls from Maastricht reproduced them. (Cammaert chapter II [1], p. 100). Since the group-Smit was also engaged in the distribution of illegal printed matter, we can assume that they also duplicated other things. Arrested, like almost the entire group, on February 17, 1942. See also: Arrests in the Group-Smit (Cammaert Chapter II [1], p. 118).
    He is listed in the “Erelijst 1940-1945” (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament). [3]
