Frank,

Interesting to note is that Joseph Veltjens was Leiter der Aussenstelle Holland des Vierjahresplan. He lived at that time at Groot Haesebroek (the home of Wehrmachtsbefehlshaber in den Niederlanden Christiansen) - renamed as Fliegerhorn. Veltjens' job was to buy goods in Holland with German money, which was useless for the Dutch. During a special operation Veltjens was killed in Italy on 6 Oct 43.

Regards,
Rob
