(R.F.C.H)

∗ 04-11-1909 Liège (B)     † 09-09-1944 Kunrade (34)
- Belgium -

When retreating from South Limburg, the Germans had other victims to take responsibility for. One of them was Marcel Le Chantre (∗ November 4, 1909, † September 9, 1944), a member of the Belgian resistance organization White Brigade. [1]
He had been arrested in the Belgian village of Eisden on September 2, and was taken with the Germans in retreat, shackled, for a week until he was executed on the Kunderberg near what was then the Schunck quarry. Eight days later, on September 17, 1944, Voerendaal was liberated.
A monument to Le Chantre was erected on the spot where he was shot. [2][3]
