https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1414455#map=10/51.1944/5.7026Cammaert writes in chapter 6b, p. 706: «As in the districts of Venlo and Roermond, there were also in Weert some camps for people in hiding. One of them was in Stramproy. … When in the summer the number of those in hiding became too large, Salemans and his people decided to set up a camp in the Beerseler Broek. P.J. Vrancken, P. Creemers, N. Lempens and others took over the care of the hiding people, who often were called “divers”. They received support from the local retail trade, farmers and the brewer M. Maes, who provided considerable sums of money.»
In total, the Stramproy-Tungelroy subdistrict housed nearly one hundred people in hiding, two of whom were arrested in the summer. They returned safely after the war. [1]
