The fallen resistance people in Limburg
Willem de Boer was a commercial agent and kept radio contact with England [1]. According to the Dodenboek Oranjehotel (Book of the Dead) [7] he was a member of the O.G.-group Naarden-Bussum, but that should probably read O.D.-group, in view of the day he was shot in Oranienburg together with many OD people, see below. On January 14, 1942, he was arrested in Amsterdam,[2][7].
After a stay until mid-April in the prison in Scheveningen (Oranjehotel) and a trial in Maastricht (sentenced to death in the first OD law suit [3]), he was transported to Oranienburg on May 10, 1942, and shot there one day later in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
He is on the Erelijst 1940-1945 (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament). [4]
