project/commission "VANUIT DE RUG GEZIEN" Asten-Someren 2010
"SEEN FROM THE BACK"
is a project that goes back to August 14, 1944 and is about the two murders of W. Wijnen mayor of Asten and P. Smulders mayor of Someren.They were brutally murdered by the SS as a settlement for the activities of the resistance in this Peel area. Many English planes that were shot down and whose pilots survived were placed with farmers. Most of them managed to return to England via an escape route. The murder of two NSB country guards near Arle-Rixel was the direct reason for the murder of the mayors.
