Theodorus Dobbe

Theodorus Dobbe had been illegally active around Amsterdam since the summer of 1940 with sabotage, assistance to Jewish people in hiding and the distribution of the illegal magazine Vrij Nederland. He organized various groups that carried out attacks and robberies in the Netherlands, including at the distribution office in Joure (1942). From the beginning of 1944 he set up the fight teams in Nijmegen in the south of the Netherlands, including the KP-Nijmegen. He committed robberies and attacks in various places. He was arrested in Arnhem on September 5, 1944, when he tried to liquidate a collaborator. After a hard interrogation, he tried to escape just before he was executed, but the guards of the Sicherheitsdienst shot him.
