Local contacts

The local contacts of the LO (so called duikhoofden, divers’ chiefs) were the contacts between the subdistrict leaders and the people in hiding. There was one, sometimes two per parish or quarter in every subdistrict.
See also the list of local contacts in the Valkenburg subdistict (they all survived the war!)
