1940-1945. The resistance in the dutch province of Limburg
 | |  |
Roggel
In the villages between the Maas river and the Peel region, the Germans organized large-scale raids, especially in the last months before their expulsion, to procure slaves for their war industry, where there was a shortage of men, since they were soldiers. From Roggel 27 people were deported. All of them returned home. [1]
Roggel is not far west of the Maas, near Roermond, which is on the east side. So it was near the front line in the last winter of the war. For that’s what the Maas was between the liberation of Roggel on November 16, 1944 and that of Roermond on March 1, 1945. See adjacent map.
