2e missie Gevangen

"Nach etwa 8-10 Tagen erhielt ich abends spät plötzlich einen Anruf aus dem Gefängnis mit der Mitteilung dass der Agent einen Krampfartigen Anfall oder einen Blutsturz habe und verstorben sei. Zugegen waren in diesem Augenblick, die beide ihn pflegenden Agenten Visser und Van Duin und der Häftling Dr. med. -X- und Häftling Zahnarzt Dr. Jens.
Nachdem die Toderursache ärztlich bescheinigt worden war, wurde die Leiche zur Bestattung freigegeben. Ich vermute dass die Beerdigung durch das Begräbnisunternehmen "Innimee" Den Haag vorgenommen wurde. So war es jedenfalls durch mich in die Wege geleitet worden, es ergaben sich jedoch Schwierigkeiten, weil das Institut über keine Särge verfügte. Darum ist es nicht ausgeschlossen, dass die Leiche durch Gefangene oder durch Leute von "Innimee" in den Duinen in Scheveningen ohne Sarg beigesetzt worden ist. Nachfrage bei "Innimee"würden auf jeden Fall Klarheit bringen. Der Para-Agent "Hans" Biallosterski ist verstorben ohne durch mich verhört zu werden, weil er nach meiner Ansicht nicht vernehmungsfaehig war".

Na zo'n 8 tot 10 dagen (op 24 februari, of 26 februari) werd Haubrok 's avonds laat plotseling opgebeld vanuit de gevangenis met de mededeling dat Tobias stuip aanval of een inwendige bloeding had gehad en was overleden. Op dat moment waren de gevangene Dr.-X-, Dr. Jens en de agenten Visser en Van Duin bij hem. Nadat de doodsoorzaak vastgesteld was werd het lijk vrijgegeven om begraven te worden. Haubrok vermoedt dat de begrafenis onderneming 'Innimee' uit Den Haag hiervoor de opdracht kreeg, dit had hij tenminste voorgesteld. Maar er was een probleem, 'Innimee' beschikte niet over lijkkisten. Daarom lijkt het Haubrok niet uitgesloten dat Tobias, of door medewerkers van de gevangenis, of door medewerkers van 'Innimee', zonder te zijn gekist in de duinen is begraven. Volgens Haubrok weet 'Innimee' hier het fijne van. Haubrok: "De parachutist-agent "Hans" Biallosterski is overleden zonder door mij verhoord te zijn, omdat hij naar mijn mening niet in staat was verhoord te worden".

After 8 to 10 days Haubrok receive a telephone call late at night from the Scheveningen prison with the announcement that Tobias had died, either of a convulsion or by an internal bleeding. At the moment Doctor X, also a prisoner, Dr. Jens, a prisoned dentist and both agents Visser and Van Duyn had been with him. After the cause of death was determined the body was released for burial. Haubrok assumes that the undertaker 'Innimee' from The Hague had been given the task to carry this out. However there was probleem, 'Innimee' did not have any coffins at their disposal. Therefore Haubrok can not exclude that Tobias, either by undertakers of 'Innimee' or by prison workers has been buried without a coffin in the dunes near the prison. Innimee' must be able to give more information about the funeral. "The Paratrooper-Agent "Hans" Biallosterski has died, without being interrogated by me, in my opinion he was not fit enough to be questioned".

Gerda Meijer was also still locked up in the same cell of the 'Orange Hotel' and writes the following in her report:

Gerda Meijer zat nog steeds in een cel in het 'Oranje Hotel' en zij schrijft hier het volgende over:

"On Wednesday February 21^st I was interrogated by Haubrok for the first time. He began showing me a letter written by 'Nol' (Arie van Duin) at the instigation of Hans and signed by the latter. Haubrok told me first of all that Hans was in Scheveningen and that 'Nol' and 'Tony', two agents, who had been dropped, and were aloso arrested and taken to Scheveningen, were taking care of him.
In the letter addressed to me, Hans asked if I would see to it that he got some food and toilet-articles. I then asked Haubrok what the meaning of all this was, for it was rather difficult for me to attend to all from my cell. Haubrok then told me his plans. He told me that Hans had been brought to Scheveningen five days earlier and that Haubrok had spoken to him quite a lot. They had come to the conclusion that it would be better in all respects, if the two operators, Douwe and Bram, whom he actually mentioned by name (!) would agree to have themselves made prisoners-of-war. (This would mean that Tobias was brought over to Scheveningen on February 16^th and he gave away the fact that he had two operators.)

He thought that I would certainly be willing to cooperate on this. I would also have to reveal the technical material. I I would agree to these demands, no more people would be arrested. They would no longer look for the two girls and he would release me.

Haubrok told me he would accompany me to Amsterdam to carry out his plans, so that I would be able to attend to these various matters. Of course this liberty would only be granted after a male prisoner would agree to 'stand bail' for me. In order to convince me that I would be rendering humanity a great service, he told me that the agents, once they were in Scheveningen, were so relieved to be out of the 'illegal world' at last, because it was such an awful mess there, that they unanimously declared: "If we had known all this before, we would have stopped our work long before this."

To make this clear to me, he illustrated his remarks with a number of examples from the 'illegal world' from which it was supposed to be evident how much discord there was, and the great danger of Communism. Without their knowledge of it -so he said- the agents were being forced to send coded messages to Russian spies. In Rotterdam alone there were five such spies, he said. As an example of the widespread discord, he told me the story of the arrest of 'Lange Jan' (Jan Thijssen, RVV). He also told me all the details of Tini (Didi) Gaazenbeek. He was most indignant about this affair. Tini, courier to 'Nol', had been set free by him so that she could contact 'Bert' (Bert de Goede) from Rotterdam, and had been picked up by the KP. (Haubrok dacht dat Didi door de KP geëxecuteerd was.)
Of course it would be possible for me to meet the same fate if I cooperated with him, but he promised to go about more carefully this time. He insisted that in any trials I would have to undergo, it would be best for me to cooperate completely. He said that Hans was also strongly in favour of this. I asked if I could speak to Hans again and he gave his permission.

The same day he took me to Hans' cell. He was known there as 'Hans de Bruin' - at least that was the name I saw on the note where his temperture was recorded. Hans looked much better than in Amsterdam; he looked more normal, and talked quite naturally with me. Haubrok stayed with us, and Nol was also present. The conversation was not very important. Hans told me he was being treated decently but he felt pretty bad. He was not able to sleep and was not given a sleeping drug as he was still too weak. He asked about Pietje (Jard) and I told him he was OK.

Then he told me that Haubrok was the man who represented the SD contact and to whom we had to deliver the technical material in December 1944 and whose address we had received from England: Anna Paulownastraat, Den Haag. Hans had chosen Dr. Felix for this task at the time and Felix had gone to The Hague to deliver the material and find out how matters stood. They had been given the wrong address - it should have been Anna Paulownaplein. The whole thing had been a trap, for when Felix returned to the address on the A.P. plein, he sent someone else over and waited a little further on. They were both arrested by the SD (The Saskia Game). On his way to prison Felix, who had not been searched, opened fire and escaped. One German was killed and Felix had been wounded. So without realising it we had been in contact with Haubrok before.

After talking to Hans for about half an hour, I had to leave and Haubrok continued the conversation with me alone. Inside 'Hans' cell we had not spoken about Haubrok's suggestion.

This was the last time I saw Hans, he died three days later, on Saturday February 24^th1945.
