The fallen resistance people in Limburg

Servaas Ritzen
(Hendricus Servatius)

Servaas Ritzen was a supervisor at the theater. He hid people in hiding in his apartment.
On September 9, 1944, shortly before the liberation of Maastricht, Ritzen was seriously injured when the chief of the security police in Maastricht, Max Strobel (often spelled Ströbel, but Strobel seems to be the correct spelling), fired indiscriminately at the Vrijthof. He was hit in the abdomen. Ritzen succumbed to his severe injuries five days later, on the day Maastricht was liberated. [1]
Strobel had already shot the shoemaker Johan Corsius in the street the day before.
The History of Maastricht [2] tells a slightly different story: He was shot by SD chief Ströbel on Vrijthof Square on September 9, 1944, after being betrayed.
He was buried in Maastricht, see control report [3].
