https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2078294#map=9/51.0785/5.9944The vicars P.J. Slots and H.Th.H. Adams set up a functioning organization in Weert to help those in hiding even before they joined the LO of the province. In mid-June 1943, Slots went into hiding in Baarlo. Since then Adams, Hermans and Nies had been in charge. Miss Hermans took care of the distribution of rationing documents, Adams and Nies of the search for host families and the accommodation of those in hiding. [1]
The L.O. district of Weert included the sub-districts of Nederweert, Ospel, Kelpen, Asten & Someren, Stramproy & Tungelroy, as well as Ell, Hunsel, Neeritter, Ittervoort.
On June 21, 1944, the raid of Weert took place, also known as the betrayal of Weert. The district leaders of LO Limburg had gathered for a meeting at the Sint Louis boarding school in Weert. The SiPo of Maastricht had found out about it. Almost the entire leadership of LO Limburg was arrested there.
