The person in question was arrested by the occupying forces at the end of January 1945 for evading the obligation to work for the Germans in the municipality of Melick and taken to Germany, where he remained in prisons (including the notorious Klingelpütz in Cologne) until liberation.
After liberation, he died of exhaustion in a transit camp in Verviers (B) on his way back home. He had been through a lot during his captivity and was completely weakened. There was nothing objectionable about him; on the contrary, he had a good reputation in every respect.
