The fallen resistance people in Limburg

Alphonsus Antonius Pieter Hubertus Ceulen (Alphons)

Alfons Ceulen lived in Maastricht until November 24, 1937, then in Roermond. He was a student. An official of the regional employment office recalled after the war that he was deported to Germany during the front period from Roermond, i.e. in the period September 1944 - March 1945. [1#8]
During these very hard months for Roermond, a fanatical hunt was organized for those in hiding. For more details, see The Tears of Roermond, ’44/’45. [2]
He perished in a so-called labor education camp (AEL, Arbeits­erziehungs­lager). There ended up such (mostly young) men who had tried to evade the obligatory labor service in Germany. In this case it was the AEL Hunswinkel, municipality Lüdenscheid [1#3]. A barrage was being built there. More about it, see link AEL above.
Originally he was buried in the Hühnersiepen-Treckinghausen communal cemetery in Hunswinkel [3], but has since been moved to the Dutch field of honor in Düsseldorf-Oberbilk [1#1], which is part of the German war cemetery Düsseldorf-Stoffeln. 1230 Dutch war victims are buried on this Dutch field of honor. [4]
This person is listed in the “Erelijst 1940-1945” (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament). [5]
