Louis Albert (Luke) Lansdorp had studied at the Economische Hogeschool in Tilburg. He then joined the RVV group in Deurne, presumably because he had refused to sign the declaration of loyalty and had therefore had to go into hiding. The RVV group Deurne was led by Cor Noordermeer and had its headquarters on the farm Antoniushoeve in Horst-America of the couple Jacob & Johanna Poels-Emonts, also known as the pilots center De Zwarte Plak after the hamlet of this name. [1]
On September 3, 1944, he undertook a raid on the prison in Putten with the RVV to free the imprisoned rector of the Alkmaar high school, Dr. Hemelrijk, but was arrested [1][2] and shot two days later.
On the memorial for the resistance fighters in America [3] is written:
“They too gave their lives for our freedom”.

Ook zij gaven hun leven
voor onze vrijheid
