Notes
General Christiansen, the German commander in the Netherlands, announced on Thursday 29 April 1943 that all Dutch military personnel had to report as prisoners of war. The reaction was the outbreak of a spontaneous strike in the largest factory of Hengelo, the engineering works of the Stork Brothers, on the same day. The next day strikes started all over the Netherlands. The SS general Rauter reacted by proclaiming police summary justice for several regions. That implied that sentences of death could be proclaimed and executed as under martial law. A total of 116 sentences of death were pronounced in the following days: 80 executions were carried out. In Marum, in the province of Groningen, 16 people were arrested and shot without any further hearing. For more details consult the book by L. de Jong The History of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Second World War (in Dutch), volume 6, second half. Of course the situation also remained turbulent after the state of police summary justice had ended on 15 May.
