1940-1945. The resistance in the dutch province of Limburg

Initial resistance

previousback

We count to the initial resistance such organizations and individuals, who were active before the foundation of the L.O.. Because it was only then that the resistance, at least in our region, acquired an overarching structure and was able to develop on a larger scale. Demobilized soldiers often took the initiative because they had a network at their disposal and felt obligated to do so by their oath of allegiance. Through the Nederlandse Opbouwdienst (Dutch Reconstruction Service), attempts were made to employ demobilized soldiers in government services such as the police and fire departments. There they met each other, and if they were anti-German, this could quickly turn into a nest of resistance.
For many clerics something similar was true because of the clear position of the bishops, including Bishop Lemmens in Limburg and their own conscience. Also among them some came into action already at the beginning of the occupation.
It began with Belgian and French prisoners of war who had escaped from Germany and passed through Limburg on their way home. Many knocked on the doors of churches asking for help, as they were easy to find. They entered the country everywhere along the Dutch eastern border, but a focus was in central and northern Limburg. Among the groups founded by former soldiers, those around Erkens, Bongaerts, Dresen, Smit, and as a national organization the O.D.
A group of its own were the Communists, who also resisted at an early stage, but did not (yet) cooperate with the other early groups, see CPN
From June 1943 onward, the Limburg escape routes all connected to Belgian branches of the Comet Line to Spain (see Cammaert IV §II.2.).
