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

Erkens Group

During the first days of the occupation of the Netherlands by Germany, Niek Erkens was serving in the army’s logistic department in Rotterdam. He was ordered by the Germans to make an inventory of the entire stock there before his release. He and his comrades did so by making disappear substantial amounts of weapons, ammunition, and other material. In September 1941, due to "talkativeness", dozens of people were arrested, also from the logistic department, and so the need arose to make people disappear as well. This was the beginning of the Erkens group. The latter came from Maastricht and was an excellent networker. Through his network, he came into contact with groups of other ex-soldiers in South Limburg such as Pierre Dresen, Charles Bongaerts and Sjef Smit. Pierre Dresen made contact with the resistance group in the border town of Eijsden, which had formed around fruit farmer Alphons Smeets and his landlord, count Raphael de Liedekerke. This new Erkens group worked closely with the Belgian groups Luc /Marc and Clarence. Read more about how they became victims of infiltration: the Hannibal game.
