The fallen resistance people in Limburg

Hendrikus Theodorus Schelbergen

Birth certificate 12.011-22, Registry Office in Limburg: Bergen [1]

Cammaert writes in summary about him: Bergen, civil servant in the local distribution office. Was involved in assisting Allied refugees and played a leading role in the local L.O. Schelbergen became embroiled in a conflict with the O.D. member and allied refugee helper P.J. Weijs from Siebengewald. [2.1]
More details about H. Schelbergen can be found in chapters 3 and 4 of Het Verborgen Front (The Hidden Front), on helping Allied refugees. Bergen is located on the right bank of the Maas River and belongs to the province of Limburg.
Across the river is Vierlingsbeek, in the province of North Brabant. As for the L.O., both towns belonged to the “Limburgian” district of Vierlingsbeek. Read more about these outskirts of Limburg.
Therefore, we read at Cammaert: He had connections with resistance workers in Vierlingsbeek across the river Maas. [2.2]
They passed on their airmen and escaped prisoners of war to the group around Wiel Houwen, who operated further south:
As mentioned above, Houwen received aviators from A.L.J. Mooren from Vierlingsbeek. Mooren in turn worked with H.Th. Schelbergen and P.J.F. van Mil from Bergen, with the wife of the mayor of Bergen, Mrs. S. Douven-Packbier, and the Krebbers family from Well. [2.3]
The conflict with the O.D. member and refugee helper P.J. Weijs from Siebengewald was the result of a misunderstanding. Weijs maintained good relations with Germans and was able to get people released that way. The local contact of the L.O. in Bergen Schelbergen therefore suspected him of espionage. But here, too, the frequent competition between people from the O.D. and the L.O. played a role. [2.4]
