| 23 | 1900 | A curfew was imposed at nightfall, Nazi party members were handed over to the partisans who had replaced the local 'turncoat' police. Light barricades with mines below were set up across the streets. Contact was made with the local clergyman who spoke English, and he agreed to put these orders into effect. It was arranged that by day, everyone off the streets and shutters down, would indicate the presence of Germans in the village and that at night, a general breaking of the blackout would betoken the same. Patrols were sent out to HULSEL 2213 and DE HOEVEN 2210 from 'B' and 'A' Coys respectively. | Appx 'B' |
