Wim Beerman
(Wilhelmus Adrianus)

Wikipedia NL

Wilhelmus Adrianus Beerman was a police photographer and detective.
During the Second World War, he 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.
