The fallen resistance people in Limburg

Adrianus Johannes van den Munckhof (Arie)

Oorlogsgravenstichting

Arie van den Munckhof was a printer. [1]
Because of his age (21), he had to work in Germany during the war at the Thomas printing company in Kempen, but went into hiding during a weekend vacation. On August 16, 1944, Berendsen’ A.K.D. command arrested him. According to Cammaert [2] (chapter VI, p. 625) in Swalmen, but the family says it was near his hiding place in Castenray, municipality of Venray. [4]
On September 8, 1944 on transport to Neuengamme, with only Dutch and two Belgians, presumably one of the last transports from camp Erika near Ommen. From Neuengamme he was forced, with many other emaciated prisoners, to extend the runway of the airfield Kaltenkirchen for the new jet fighters. [3]
In 1952 he was buried near the big church in Venray. He seems to have been friends with Henny Oudenhoven, one year younger, because after the war both were wanted in one advertisement. [4]
