Lived in Hilversum, Bordetstraat 23. Son of Tijmen Oudenaller (20 June 1849 Hilversum - 7 March 1900 Hilversum) and Anna Maria Hettelder (24 March 1853 Hilversum - 10 June 1920 Hilversum). Married to Antonia Catharina Pasman, born 5 January 1885 in Wisch. Head printer/manager at the Ethner printing company in Hilversum. Roman Catholic.
In the autumn of 1944, Oudenaller was fortunate enough to acquire a printing press from the owner of the Ethner printing works. This German citizen had been living in the Netherlands for fourteen years, but refused to serve in the German army. He therefore went into hiding. Oudenaller moved the press to an address on Diepeweg in his hometown. There, after installing the machinery, he printed the illegal newspaper De Vrije Gooi- en Eemlander, a reference to the Gooi-en Eemlander, which appeared under German censorship. As a result of betrayal, Oudenaller was arrested on 8 February 1945 and transferred to the detention centre on Weteringschans in Amsterdam. During the harsh interrogations by the Sipo, he did not betray any of his co-workers. He even refused to recognise a member of staff. His epitaph reads: ‘Kept silent until death, his co-workers were saved because of this’. He and seven others were shot as reprisal at the Jan Gijzenbrug in Haarlem after a firefight in which a Feldgendarme was killed and another wounded. A street in Hilversum was named after Oudenaller in 1955. His name is listed on a plaque in the Citizens' Hall of the Hilversum town hall.
