Just before Christmas I have received an e-mail from Andreas Pflock. Andreas is studying at the University of Hannover and working on the Aussenkommando's of KZ-'s Hertogenbosch. Several of these Aussenkommando's have been working on the Luftwaffe airfields in the southern part of Holland.

This e-mail however contained the following URL: www.ns-gedenkstaetten.de/nrw/
In this site I have found an article, in German, about unknown files at the Department of War Victims at the:"Ministère de la Santé Publique" in Brussels Belgium.

Besides the files about concentrationcamps in and around Düsseldorf and others more well known KZ's, they also found the file "Militärbefehlshabers von Belgien und Nordfrankreich".

The department is located at Square de l'Aviation/Luchtscheepvaartsquare 31, 1070 Brussels, Belgium.
You can visit the department there between 9-12 am and 14-16 pm, preferably by appointment.
By phone: (02) 522.78.60
By fax: (02) 522.76.22
By e-mail: Square.31@skynet.be

If I will receive more information about this source I will let you know.
