Archives in The Netherlands.

[Jaap Woortman]

The main source of primairy Luftwaffe documents in The Netherlands is:
Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie(NIOD). Herengracht 380, Amsterdam. The Netherlands. Phone: +31 20 5233800. Fax: +31 20 5233888. E-mail: info@oorlogsdoc.knaw.nl. URL: www.oorlogsdoc.knaw.nl. Opening times Monday till Friday from 9.00 till 17.00 hrs.

A recent visit gave me the possibility to look through archive file no.57. Title: Bevollmächtigter für die Bauwirtschaft. It contains information about all the building activities during WWII in the Netherlands by the Germans. An eye-opener!

In the local archive of the town of Bunschoten, temporary at Amersfoort Local Archive, I recently found a German notice to fishermen, to look out for an aircraft type
217 coded F8+and two more, which, I found out later, was of a staffel of KG 40 probably based at Soesterberg, the crew was still missing. In this, and other archives
of towns and villages around the IJsselmeer, is also information on the remains of dead airmen, which may give a clue on aircraft type.
Another source may be The Royal Netherlands Air Force Historical Section, Koningin Marialaan 17, ;s-Gravenhage, who have some good researchers on this subject.

Frontreperatur Betrieb 3/253
Sat Sep 30 13:22:11 2024


While searching in the files of the NIOD Amsterdam I came across a piece of paper from Luftgaukommando Holland about Bauvolumen for the third quarter of 1943. In this
paper Frontrep.Betr. 3/253 in Apeldoorn was mentioned and they should get Splitterschutz. Does anyone know what this unit was doing in Apeldoorn? Where does it
belong to? What were they repairing? I hope someone could help me in solving the questions about this unit.
