When retreating from South Limburg, the Germans had other victims to take responsibility for. One of them was Marcel Le Chantre (∗ November 4, 1909, † September 9, 1944), a member of the Belgian resistance organization White Brigade. [4]
He had been arrested in the Belgian village of Eisden on September 2, and was taken with the Germans in retreat, shackled, for a week until he was executed on the Kunderberg near what was then the Schunck quarry. A monument to Le Chantre was erected on the spot where he was shot. [2][3]
A few days earlier, two members of the KP (Knokploeg) of South Limburg were shot on the Cauberg in Valkenburg. [5]
On September 12, 1944, between Heer and Cadier en Keer, 12 resisters of the Secret Army (Belgium), Maaseik sector, were shot, including an unknown Eastern European. On September 14, 1944, seven more members of the same group were killed at Gangelt (just over the German border). [6]
