War Memorial in Aachen-Eilendorf

This person is not (yet?) listed on the walls of the chapel.

On the Cauberg in Valkenburg stands the Resistance Memorial of the Province of Limburg near the spot where on September 5, 1944, shortly before the liberation of South Limburg, the men of the Knokploeg (fighting group) South Limburg Sjeng Coenen and Joep Francotte were shot. In the chapel of this memorial, the names of the fallen resistance fighters are written on three walls. There are also people among them who died of the aftermath after their liberation from the camp.

But many are not included for various reasons.

  1. The L.O. region of Limburg does not coincide with the Dutch province of Limburg. See The outskirts of Limburg
    Het Grote Gebod (The Great Commandment) however does deal with these areas.
  2. Another group that is partly included below are people, who lived in Belgium but had a lot of contact with the Limburg resistance.
  3. And there will probably always remain people, who are not on it, because simply no list of this kind can be complete.

There is still a lot of work to do!
