Jenny Emma Félicie Tripels was a Dutch member of the Belgian resistance during World War II.
She became acquainted during World War I with the Belgian Charles Stockmans, an Antwerp based industrialist who fled to the Netherlands during the war and became active in an intelligence network that collected information on the Belgian railroad lines.
During World War II, Tripels was recruited by Stockmans in 1941 or 1942 into an intelligence network he had set up at the request of the French Colonel Rémy. [2]
The network was busted by the Germans in June 1942. On June 12, 1942, Jenny was arrested in Liege. Most of the members were executed, Tripels and three others were deported. She died in 1945 at Ravensbrück concentration camp. [3]
