Execution Monument De Haspel

On the night of October 23-24, the aforementioned men would be taken to a different hiding place. Resistance officer Jantinus Bosker would bring the men here. However, things turned out differently. That same evening, the S.D. men H. Bouma and M. Vonk were sent out to search for weapons dropped in Een-West. They had to be with the Oosterhof family, who lived a few houses further than the Vos family. Both S.D. men were supported by a group of Auxiliary Rangers. These men were locally unknown and accidentally ended up at the farm of the Vos family. There they met the Vos family (without Hennie), the four deserted N.S.K.K. men and a resistance fighter. Ipe Mulder fled and entered into a firefight with the auxiliary guards. In doing so, he shot one. The others were arrested. Because Ipe Mulder shot in the air a few times, Alje Vos and Jan Zomer were able to escape. Ritze Vos, Dirk de Jong, Leonardus van Dongen and Jantinus Bosker were taken to De Haspel. The men were briefly interrogated in a farm on De Haspel and taken away in a robbery car. It was a short drive. The car stopped at the bridge over De Haspel near Café L. Pruim (now Café Kajuiter). One by one the men had to get out to be shot dead by E. Knorr, SS-Unterscharführer at the Sicherheitspolitzei. However, Jantinus Bosker was able to escape.
