The attack

Two officers are injured and one of them dies. The German high command treats the incident very seriously with disastrous consequences!

On Friday the 29th of September 1944, the group plans an attack on the German occupiers but it comes to nothing. The next evening, a second attempt is made near Oldenaller Bridge. The resistance fighters fire on a German passenger car transporting four military men. In the ensuiing fire fight one of the members of the resistance is wounded.The German high command takes the incident very seriously and takes gruesome revenge on Putten village.
