GERALD GROOTHUIS
He joined the N.B.S. (Dutch
forces of the Interior) Active
Resistance in the fall of 1940.
The first couple of years most of
the time was spent on learning the
Sten and Bren guns, ocassionally
picking up guns dropped off by
allied airplanes, always at night.
Twice he helped allied flyers who
were shot down to escape to
Belgium where they were picked up
by special units. In March, 1945 he
received an identity card in case
they were caught by the Germans,
they were to be held as prisoners of
war. But any underground fighter
that was caught was shot
immediately, maybe first tortured to
get information.
With the liberation May, 1945, he
fought in Hengel, defending a
factory and the electricity central.
Two of our unit got killed there but
the Germans did not have enough
time to demolish it because they did
not let them in.
