Tijmen Bastiaan Huurman was an engineer at Kondor and a first lieutenant in the reserves [1] The following information about his military career comes from wikimedia.org [2]
Reserve officer of the Royal Dutch Land Forces, 1921-1930.
Awards:
He joined the OD or Ordedienst [4] during the occupation, an organization composed mainly of former soldiers and police people, and was arrested on suspicion of espionage and membership in the OD [5], but what exactly he was charged with we do not (yet) know.

It might have to do with the Englandspiel (England game) [6], where the German counterintelligence caught many people involved in espionage and radio communications with England at the time. He was in cell 324 at the increasingly crowded so called Oranjehotel [7] in Scheveningen from September 1, 1941 to March 29, 1942) [13] Because of the lack of space in Scheveningen, the subsequent first OD trial was held in Amersfoort and Maastricht. In Maastricht, the Germans had seized almost the entire Third Franciscan Monastery, which had since been demolished. Those sentenced to death were taken to Oranienburg, north of Berlin, where they were immediately shot upon arrival at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
At Fokke Bleekerstraat 1, 1403 RX Bussum, there is a memorial plaque with the names of 11 resistance fighters from Bussum. Streets in the small "resistance quarter" in Westereng are named after them. [8]
On maastrichtsevelstenen.nl [11] he is called a resistance fighter with a connection to Maastricht because of his trial and the monument with his name at this place.
Tijmen Bastiaan ( Tijmen ) Huurman is listed in the Erelijst 1940-1945 (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament). [9]
