    The miner Jan Wolters had taken in some Russian forced laborers and made no secret of it, had to pay for his carelessness with death on October 25. When he tried to escape after being betrayed by a fellow villager, members of the N.S.D.A.P. Roermond branch shot him in his belly. He succumbed to his injuries in the Roermond hospital. [1]
    At that time the Maas River was the front line and the area east of it had been annexed by Germany.
    Jan is buried in the municipal cemetery Kapel in ’t Zand, Roermond, grave 22-36, 2e kl.
    He is listed in the “Erelijst 1940-1945” (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament). [2]
