Rare Dutch Resistance Medal Plaque awarded to resistance members just after WW2. This plaque consists of a silver-plated plaque mounted on a mahogany plank.

The maker was the company Mesker from Schoonhoven. Rare medal plaque to find! See also the Geillustreerde Bax, part 2. the plaque can swivel because the attachment on the bottom is loose, but for display this is absolutely no issue at all. See also our other interesting WW2 items that we have on offer on catawiki! History of the LO LKP Due to the strongly increasing repression of the German occupier and the aftermath of the April-May strikes, the need increased rapidly. Therefore, the LO leadership decided on August 14, 1943 to establish its own Knokploegen and the bundling of existing ones. The members Hilbert van Dijk and Izaak van der Horst (both from Kampen) were charged with this, together with the leader of the Westland Knokploeg Leendert Valstar and the professional soldier Liepke Scheepstra in hiding. Later, Theodorus Dobbe, Johannes Post and Jan van Bijnen ("Frank") were added to the national leadership. Valstar traveled the western half of the country, Scheepstra the eastern half. In addition, they regularly led operations with their own Knokploeg. Activities In the year after it was founded, about 600 resistance members operated in the LKP, united in dozens of thugs. This enabled the LKP to ensure a more or less regular supply of voucher cards for the people in hiding entrusted to the LO. Robberies were also sometimes committed for identity cards; however, most of it was obtained by forgery (including by Gerrit van der Veen's Personal Proofs Central). In addition, the LO had its own Falsification Center. The introduction in early 1944 of the so-called second distribution master card caused new problems; this was necessary to be able to use food stamps and had to be provided with a control seal. Without such a seal one immediately ran into the lamp, so it was of vital importance. The LKP was also involved in other activities, such as the capture of weapons and the liberation of arrested fellow combatants. Examples of this are the raid on the Koepelgevangenis in Arnhem (to liberate Rev. Fredrik. Slomp and Henk Kruithof, on 11 May 1944)[1], the liberation of 54 prisoners from the Huis van Bewaring (also in Arnhem, 11 June 1944). )[1], the raid on the House of Detention in Leeuwarden (December 8, 1944) and, together with the LO, the liberation of 80 prisoners in Maastricht [2]. Sabotage was also committed and, where necessary, traitors were liquidated.

History of the LO LKP
Due to the strongly increasing repression of the German occupier and the aftermath of the April-May strikes, the need increased rapidly. Therefore, the LO leadership decided on August 14, 1943 to establish its own Knokploegen and the bundling of existing ones. The members Hilbert van Dijk and Izaak van der Horst (both from Kampen) were charged with this, together with the leader of the Westland Knokploeg Leendert Valstar and the professional soldier Liepke Scheepstra in hiding.
