Javastraat 20

Commissioned by Dr. Helmut Meyer of the Sonderkommando Hengelo of the Navy Abwehrstelle, traitor Carl Ludwig Huschka (July 20, 1907-1966), assisted by J. A. Izaks, had invaded the resistance in Enschede. Just before the liberation of the city, the two V-Männer ensured that Enschede resistance members gathered at the home of the family Borg Borg in Sumatrastraat 3 on March 31, 1945 at seven o'clock in the evening. They were told important news would follow. At that time, three S.D. into Sumatrastraat, the SD command of twelve men led by Unterscharführer Karl Erich Alfred Schöber (1903) jump out of their cars, surround the house and enter. Grandma ter Borg sees the Germans and dives under the table. The others panic and flee all over the house, looking for a way out or a place to hide. Any person discovered by the Germans is then shot on the spot. When a German mother sees Jonetta ter Borg with her two-year-old son Gerrit on his arm and prepares to shoot, she begs the German to spare her child. The German agrees and has the woman bring the child outside, keeping her at gunpoint. Mrs ter Borg then crosses the street diagonally and presses her son Gerrit into the arms of her eleven-year-old daughter Hannie, who had fled to butcher Amelink. Jonetta's words have been remembered: “Here is Gerrit, take good care of him. Your father is dead and I have to go back ”. She was still stopped, but she shouted, "I have to go back or you will all be shot." Then she walked away. Hannie saw her mother fall and then the German took her home. According to Grandma Ter Borg, who was sitting under the table, she sat down at the table and was killed with a shot to the neck.

The house is then looted, eight people present were murdered. Only Grandma Ter Borg-Alink survived the massacre under the table over which a large cloth hung. Wieger was one of the victims. The main victim was the leader of the LO in Enschede, Pieter Zandbergen (alias Frans). The other victims were: Gerrit Engelbert ter Borg, his wife Jonetta ter Borg-Elfering, his father Gerard ter Borg, neighbor Johannes Jacobus Francoijs, police officer Antonie van Essen (CID) and border committees Gerard Rutgers.

After this action, the SD command drives to Pieter Zandbergen's house to have it searched. When he is then about to leave the home of the LO leader with a few SD officials, the typographer Jan H. Wennink ('Henny'), active in the Nederlandsche Binnenlandsche Strijd forces (NBS), embraces the company. . Although a search and the subsequent search of his home are not burdensome, 31-year-old Wennink is taken and shot on the Zweeringsweg.

Once back in the SD building, Meyer has one of the SD men visit Bolhaarslaan on a city map. With three cars, the naval officer leaves with an SD command to the home of Jan Harm Bosch. The inspector of import duties and excise duties appears to be at home, is arrested and then taken to the synagogue. The next morning on April 1, 1945, Easter Sunday, Jan Harm Bosch is probably shot dead by Alfred Schöber in the garden behind the synagogue. Schöber's colleagues have now left Enschede in a northerly direction. A few hours later, Allied soldiers enter the city.

On March 31, 1945, Dr. Helmut Meyer told his secretary that she had to come to Enschede that evening, because: "The English are at the door and it is our duty to first unmask and destroy an illegal movement in Enschede." .

Carl Ludwig Huschka managed to escape from Scheveningen prison in the summer of 1946. He settled in Belgium, where he worked as a farmhand in Denderwindeke under the name Bob Korendijk. He was arrested again in December 1946. It was not until October 1951, before the Special Criminal Chamber in Zutphen, sentenced him to eighteen years' imprisonment. He was only part of it.

Aagje Francoijs is the widow of the murdered Johannes Francoijs. She recounts what happened on the early morning of April 1, 1945, based on her memories. “Due to the fact that my husband had been out all night, I went to the hospital with my father early in the morning to be sure. to get. If victims had fallen, the lifeless bodies would have been transported there. In the death room we were only admitted under police escort, which is why my father went to the office not far from the hospital. The streets he had to pass before were currently just cleared, so he took cover behind walls and hedges with danger of his own life at the office end
