The Maas village of Geulle played already a role early on in the war as a starting point for refugees who were brought across the Maas to Belgium in rowboats. Initially, they were French-speaking prisoners of war who had managed to escape from Germany [1]; later, there were also Jews and members of downed Allied air crews.
