Annexure X

Early 1941, a Dutch Naval Cadet whose name may have been TER HAAK, or LAAK (Ter Laak).

Sometime later, VAN DER REIJDEN who agreed to act as a double agent, was played by the Sipo without success.

DE JONG (leader) & RADEMA (WT).

Are arrested by the Sipo about May or June 1943. They had arrived by MTB at the beginning of 1943 and had landed near Katwijk. Their mission was purely espionage and III-F with RADEMA's assistance tried to establish contact. London must, however, have been aware of what was happening, since, after several schedules, the traffic stopped.

OORDT (WT) (Orrt).

Was caught by R.D.F. (Radio Detection Finding) of the Orp on Whit Monday, 1942.

ALBAS.

Call sign TBO. Dutch Cadet or sub-lieutnant. Worked with success for a long time in Holland. All the efforts of the Orpo and Sipo were frustrated by his caution and skill. Was arrested in a trap set by the Sipo in the house of his girffriend in The Hague. He did not give any information about his mission or the other members of his group and next to TACONIS was the best and most valuable agent whom Londen sent to Holland and who fell into German hands.

NIERMEIER.

Was arrested by the Sipo in Amsterdam after his address had become known through NORDPOL traffic. He had for several months frustrated the efforts of the Orpo (R.D.F. and shadowing) who had brought spcial equipent to Holland for this purpose (S-Phone?).

First Group (names no longer known).

Parachuted in Sept/Oct 1943 near Grave or Nijmegen. The drop took place in the early evening when it was still quite light, close to a road where there were a lot of people so that the agents who fell in a garden and on a roof, had to flee immediately, leaving WT set, codes and a case full of their personal effects (Grisnigt & Hoekman).

Second Group (names no longer known).

Landed Oct/Nov 1943 near Grave. They were apparently expected by contacts of the firts group (see above) who helped them to hide their equipent in a neighbouring farm. In some way hoewever, troops in the neighbourhood got to hear of this and without informing the Abwehstelle or Sipo, occupied the farm. When later the agents returned to fetch their equipment, there was a fight, one being shot (Hoekman) whilst the other escaped. One of these agents may have been a certain SCHRINJEMAAKER (Schreinemacher) (Phipis Factory, Eindhoven) as his name was marked on the clothes found (Scheinemachers & van Alebeek).

HEINTJE-I, II, III & IV.

A group of agents arrested by the Sipo about Feb/March 1944 after HEINTJE-II and III had been captured in Amsterdam on consecutive days whilst transmitting. Arrests were due to R.D.F. The Sipo tried to play them back (The Sipo EGMONT affair), but London closed the traffic after several weeks with a message referring to the last message send by III-F During the Nordpol case (1-4-1944). (Van der Stok, Wiedemann, van Borssum-Buisman & Letteboer))

BERGMANN.

Was found dead in a shot down aircraft in the Zuiderzee some time in the summer of 1943 and had a large sum of foreign money and a letter of introduction from Capt. ZOMER (Somer) to a certain Bürgermeister in Holland. His companion (Gerbrands) saved himself on a Dutch ship and escaped.

HUNTEMANN now states that he thinks that these two groups may have been the same as the HEINTJE-I, II, III & IV Group.
