Twee keer bevrijd

Just before the liberation, official F. Vogels was picked up at home by the Germans and taken to Eindhoven. The Germans suspected him of hostile activities against them. He was indeed involved in the resistance in Leende. He stayed in the police station in Eindhoven and on September 18, 1944 he was released again when Eindhoven was liberated. A day later he went back to Leende. On his arrival there, they were shocked when the tricolor car stopped in front of the door. Leende had not yet been liberated at that time. When the Allied army finally reached Leende, he could indeed say that he had the privilege of being liberated twice.
