Netherlands - Document - Uniek WOII Verzetsarchief...

Auctioned offers: an historically extremely important, complete and unrestored intelligence archive of the Dutch underground espionage service during World War II. This archive originates directly from the Intelligence Group 'Reinaert', which operated under the banner of the Geheime Dienst Nederland (GDN) via the vital 'South Route' toward the already liberated Eindhoven. The archive contains unique documents that show the raw reality of military espionage and counter-espionage in the crucial months of 1944 and the immediate aftermath in May/June 1945. Key items in this lot: 1. Original Secret Files & Fiches with Portrait Photos: Unique surveillance fiches of the resistance, including those of Jenny and Nelly Cooymans from Mechelen, explicitly marked as "Gestapo agent". This type of counter-espionage material is extremely rare as they were largely destroyed right after the war. 2. The "M-Berichten" & Tactical Logbooks (1944): Detailed espionage reports on German troop movements, transports, locations of "Panther" tanks and the installation of 10cm field artillery in the regions of Sittard, Roermond and Susteren. 3. Strategic Maps & Object Lists: A hand-drawn map of strategic positions along the Meuse (Maas), combined with officially typed lists of vital German infrastructure in Maastricht (including the electricity station on Akerstraat, the bus depot and Shell depots). 4. Secret Correspondence (ZIP / Coen): Original courier letters full of urgent safety instructions, warnings against discovery, and the stringent prohibition on contacting third parties. 5. Liberation Document Group Reinaert: The original, typed thank-you and settlement letter penned by Chief "M I K I" (Wim Schoemaker, the national intelligence head of the GDN), dated 7 May 1945 — immediately after capitulation. 6. Propaganda Folder: An original pamphlet "Wie steht der Krieg? Kamerad, frage den Skorpion!", used for psychological warfare. All of this has been carefully preserved for decades in old Schaubek albums. A museum-worthy collection offering an unfiltered glimpse into the life-threatening intelligence work in South Netherlands. Condition: In authentic, used condition with aging traces appropriate for clandestine wartime material (discoloration, light edge wear, perforation holes). No restorations. See the photos for an accurate personal impression.
