De Post in de Vloeiweide
Clandestine radio station in OD Region 16 - this page is a stub

Towards the end of WWII, the Post in de Vloeiweide was a temporary underground radio station, operated by the Dutch resistance organisation Ordedienst (OD) from the house of forester Neefs, located in the Vloeiweide — an irregation meadow in Rijsbergen (near Breda, Netherlands). On 4 October 1944, the Germans raided the house and killed five OD members and four civilians. Eight further OD members were captured and were executed the following day, on 5 October 1944 [1].

In addition, three Germans lost their lives during the raid.

The image on the right shows the house of forester Neefs and his family a year after the end of the war, in 1946.
