dutch resistance notice

[Davidh]

this was brought back by a british vet, when he was in holland after it fell he saw a woman crying because this had been pinned to her door so he ripped it down and now its sat in my cabinet

A final warning from those friendly resistance guys, most of who weren't actually in the resistance until after the Germans had departed.

Nice bit of social history!

[Odulf]

Indeed, an interesting piece of history. I wonder from what city/village, because this is obviously a 'local initiative' without the back-up of the 'official' resistance-authorities such as the Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten (Internal Forces), who were also recognised by both Allies and Germans as combattants and representatives of the State.
I have never seen such a pamphlet in over 40 years of collecting. Next time when I go to Amsterdam, I'll ask round with the Dutch Resistance Museum, if they have any such-like 'warnings'.

Cheers,
Odulf

i also would love to know from which town it was from, but sadly i got this from the son inlaw of the vet who passed away a few years ago, the other pieces in pic were also his bringbacks, rgds dave

I visited the Dutch Resistance Museum in Amsterdam a few weeks ago but certainly can't remember seeing anything like this on display.

Thank god you saved the rest from being split up , a sad fact that this happens to alot of vet bring back stuff. Still could be worse , heres a bit of a story that made me spew , a fews back i read in the local news paper about a ww2 vet that had just pasted away , a few days later some friends of mine turned up with some items they had just found at the local rubbish tip , you woulnd beleave it , but here was a framed photo and a document awarded to the very soldier that i had read about the few days prevous , shocking , the family must have turfed it all out ,still there safe now , cheers Raymond
