1940-1945. The resistance in the dutch province of Limburg
 | |  |
Ondergrondse pers
On the corner of the street
After the surrender of the Dutch army in May 1940, the occupation didn’t seem so bad at first. The National Socialists still hoped to win the Dutch over to their ideology. In contrast to Belgium and France, no military administration was set up, but a "civil" one. But that was only an appearance. The press was brought under German control as early as May 15, 1940, but the first free newspaper appeared on the same day. This created what is often referred to as the “illegal” press. After all, the resistance called itself “illegality”. By the end of the war, a large variety of sheets had been published in the millions. A more precise estimate is not possible. In addition, each copy was often passed from hand to hand. There weren’t any copiers yet. The most common means was the good old spirit duplicator, which the older ones among us still know from their school days. If such a printer was not available, the texts were copied by typing or even writing.
The distributors of this free press also often sold photos of the royal family and the like to fund all kinds of good causes. The need for uncensored information was great, especially since in May 1943 all radios had to be surrendered to make listening to Radio Oranje more difficult and even more when the Allied troops where approaching to liberate Europe from fascism. Of course, not all radios were handed in, and confiscated radios were also retrieved by combat groups.
The Nazis were aware of the dangerousness of this printed matter. They persecuted the makers with great doggedness, but also tried to create confusion with a fake resistance newspaper: De Gil (The Scream).
Below you will find people who have paid for this work with their life.
