The fallen resistance people in Limburg

Herman Oolbekkink

Wikipedia NL

During the Second World War, detective Oolbekkink was a member of a resistance group in Nijmegen in which in particular a number of police officers were active. The group carried out an attack on the traitor Ederveen on the Daalseweg on September 24, because he knew too much. However, Ederveen managed to escape and to alert the Germans. As a result, dozens of people were arrested on September 27, and on June 6, 1944, the five most important members of this resistance group were executed in the dunes near Overveen. More about this in the introductory text about Nijmegen.
Herman Oolbekkink is buried with corps honors on the Vredehof field of honor.
