Tweede missie van Tobias Biallosterski uitgevoerd samen met de marconisten Pieter de Vos en Paul Polak.
Zondag 21 januari, geen berichtenverkeer volgens Paul Polak.



Maandag 22 januari, dit bericht (
421) is zeer waarschijnlijk afkomstig van Liepke Scheepstra (BOB), landelijke commandant van de KP. Hij vraagt zich af wat er precies bedoeld wordt met de tekst van telegram 278 van Londen.

Tobias (
422) klaagt over het feit dat de onderlinge strijd tussen de drie verzetsgroepen maar niet ophoud en de organisaties maar opgeheven moeten worden en dat Londen maar een nieuwe commandant moet benoemen.

Tobias (
423) heeft die middag een afspraak met Jaap Carels (BRAND) van het GEB en Neher van de PTT, er schijnen twee CID (Centrale Inlichtingen Dienst) co-operatoren dwars te liggen en weer gaat het over politiek. Carels lijkt in dit conflict de neutrale factor te zijn en hij is degene die de illegale telefooncentrale in Amsterdam heeft gebouwd.

Londen (
290) antwoord Tobias dat de onderlinge strijd tussen de verzets organisaties hun aandacht heeft en zij zullen hier een beslissing over nemen waarvan Tobias op de hoogte gesteld zal worden.

Verder vraagt Londen (
291) of de dropping operaties doorgaan kunnen vinden, of moeten deze vanwege de sneeuw opgeschort worden?

Tobias (421) sends a request from the LSC (Liepke Scheepstra, national commander of the fighting unit of the KP). He urgently asks London further information regarding the definition  of the words Region and Regional Commander and also the meaning of Regional Sabotage chiefs. The commanders of the zones proposed by Bob (Scheepstra himself) have not yet been appointed. It is not clear to him if the Regional sabotage chief will be appointed to the zones created by London, or to the existing zones created by the resistance, the so called 'Gewesten'. It is also not clear of order are given by Delta Centrum of by London's liaison officers. An immediate answer by London is essential.

FROM DRAUGHTS VIA ELAN STOP MY FOUR TWO TWO
(422) STOP FINDING NOTHING ELSE THAN A POLITICAL FIGHT BETWEEN THE THREE ILLEGAL GROUPS STOP SUGGEST TO LIQUIDATE THE THREE ORGANISATIONS AND APPOINT A NEW COMMANDER OVER HOLLAND STOP

Tobias informs London (422) that he is getting sick and tired of the political fights between the three resistance organisations. He suggests to liquidate all three organisation and appoint a new commander over Holland.

FROM DRAUGHTS VIA TOWY MY NR FOUR TWO THREE
(423) STOP YOUR TWO EIGHT EIGHT (288) STOP THIS AFTERNOON APPOINTMENT WITH CARELS ELECTROTECHNICAL OFFICIAL GEB AMSTERDAM AND NEHER MANAGER PTT THE HAGUE STOP DIFFICULTIES BETWEEN TWO CID COOPERATORS PTT AND NEHER OWING POLITICAL SUPERIORITY STOP IMPRESSION IS THAT CARELS IS A NEUTRAL PERSON IN THIS QUESTION AND CONSTRUCTED THE EXCHANGE AMSTERDAM STOP

Tobias informs London (423) he has an appointment this afternoon with Carels, electrotechnical official GEB Amsterdam (electricity company of Amsterdam) and Neher manager of the Dutch PTT in The Hague. There are difficulties between 2 CID (Centrale Inlichtingen Dienst) PTT members and Neher owing to political superiority. Tobias has the impression that Carels is neutral person in this matter and he is the one who is building the new illegal telephone exchange in Amsterdam.

TO DRAUGHTS VIA NIGHT ELAN STOP OUR TWO NINE ZERO (290) STOP YOUR FOUR TWO TWO (422) WHOLE QUESTION IS NOW UNDER EXAMINATION AND YOU WILL BE INFORMED OF DECISION TAKEN STOP

London reacts (290) on Tobias' complain about the political situation between the three resistance organisation. The matter is under examination in London and they will inform Tobias about the decision taken.

TO DRAUGHTS VIA NIGHT ELAN STOP OUR TWO NINE ONE
(291) STOP WE ASSUME THAT CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND ARE STILL FAVOURABLE FOR OPERATIONS PLEASE TELL US IMMEDIATELY IF IN VIEW OF SNOW YOU WISH US TO WAIT STOP

London informs Tobias (291) they still assume that the conditions on the ground are still good enough to carry out dropping operations. Tobias must tell London at once how he feels about the snow versus droppings or does he wish operations to stop?




Dinsdag 23 januari,  Amsterdam (424) vraagt om een grote hoeveelheid ongenummerde Ausweisen te droppen om een eventuele wijziging van de bestaande Ausweisen te saboteren.

Londen (
292) vraagt om de namen van de twee CID medewerkers die dwars liggen.

Londen (
293) wil de gevraagde medicijnen wel droppen maar vraagt zich af of alles in het gebied van Tobias gedropt moet worden, op welk veld en in welke hoeveelheden.


FROM DRAUGHTS VIA TOWY STOP MY FOUR TWO FOUR (424) STOP REFERENCE YOUR TWO EIGHT SIX (286) STOP DOUBT WHETHER YOU RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD INFORMATION STOP YOUR INFORMER PREFERS THE DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT HOLLAND OF REGISTERS WITH NAMES AND NUMBERS OF ALL AUSWEISEN ALSO NUMBERS OF IDENTITY CARDS BUT NO NAMES AND NUMBERS OF REST OF POPULATION STOP ILLEGAL MOVEMENT REQUIRES UNNUMBERED IDENTITY CARDS IN ORDER TO LINE  UNDER THE NUMBER OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN ENRIGISTERED WITH AUSWEISEN STOP YOUR DROPPING OF GREAT NUMBER OF IDENTITY CARDS IS THERFORE URGENTLY REQUIRED.

Henri Koot sends this telegram (424) via Tobias and he refers to London's telegram 286 in which they offer to print a large numbers of ID cards for the resistance. Koot doubts if London understood the information he had send. London's informer prefers the distribution throughout occupied Holland of registers with names and numbers of all Ausweisen, but also the numbers of identity cards but no numbers and names of the rest of the population. The resistance needs unnumbered ID cards in order to line under the number of those who  have been enregistered with Ausweisen. The dropping of a great number of identity cards is therefore urgently required. Strange text, does Koot mean he wants the fake Ausweisen to carry the same number as the Ausweisen which are already issued to ordinary Dutchmen?

TO DRAUGHTS VIA NIGHT ELAN STOP OUR TWO NINE TWO (292) STOP YOUR FOUR TWO THREE (423) STOP PLEASE TELL US THE NAMES OF THE TWO CID OPERATORS STOP

London informs Tobias (292) they need the two names of the CID operators who Tobias mentioned in his telegram 423.

TO DRAUGHTS VIA NIGHT ELAN STOP OUR TWO NINE THREE
(293) STOP IN YOUR TELEGRAM FOUR ONE ONE (411) YOU ASK FOR CERTAIN MEDICAL SUPPLIES STOP WE HOPE TO SEND THESE STOP TELL US WHETHER THEY ARE ALL TO BE SENT TO YOUR AREA AND TO WHICH GROUNDS IN WHAT PROPORTIONS STOP

London asks Tobias (293) where he wants the medical supplies he has asked for to be dropped. London will drop them, but must everything be dropped in Tobias' area, on which dropping fields and in which proportion?



Woensdag 24 januari, Tobias (425) bedankt Eva voor de kerstpudding, die waarschijnlijk met een dropping is meegestuurd. Op veld MANDRILL kan men een agent en zijn drie containers ontvangen.

Amsterdam (
426) is het verdeelpunt voor de te droppen medicijnen, de gevraagde hoeveelheid is genoeg voor twee tot drie maanden en deze moeten op de velden SALLY en OLIVER gedropt worden.

Alles is weer koek en ei en alle organisaties willen voor de NBS werken. Tobias (
427) geeft aan dat "Londen" binnenkort met Amsterdam verbonden kan worden. Met "Londen" bedoelt hij waarschijnlijk het BBO kantoor en wel het kantoor in Eindhoven. De twee CID co-operators zijn J.H. Schuilenga, alias SIMON, en J.P. Postuma, alias JAN, vormden samen met Jan Sanders, alias HIEMSTRA de kern van de CID, Sanders als hoofd was politie ambtenaar en de eerste twee waren beiden PTT ambtenaren en zij bouwden een illegaal landelijk telefoonnetwerk.

De
DC, Henri Koot (428), wil precies weten wat de orderstructuur is voor de sabotage chiefs, hij is blijkbaar bang dat deze alleen vanuit Londen aangestuurd worden en dat verder niemand van hun acties op de hoogte is.

Verder laat Koot (
429) weten dat er geen behoefte is aan speciale explosieven om de zuurstof wagons op te blazen. De vraag is of men gezien de zware bewaking überhaupt wel in de buurt van deze wagons kan komen en als dat al het geval is beschikt men al over voldoende explosieven.


FROM DRAUGHTS VIA ELAN STOP MY FOUR TWO FIVE (425) STOP YOUR TWO NINE ONE (291) STOP EDINBURGH READY STOP MANDRILL OK FOR MAN X AND THREE CONTAINERS STOP THANKS FOR NICE XMAS PUDDING EVKE STOP

Tobias informs London (426) that the medical supplies can be dropped on the fields OLIVER and SALLY and Amsterdam will do the distribution for occupied Holland. Tobias wants London to drop these supplies in the Proportions he has asked for, this will be enough to last 2 or 3 months. Tobias thanks London very much indeed for dropping these medical supplies.

Henri Koot informs London (427) that everything is OK again and all resistance organisations want to work for him. Soon the new telephone exchange will be ready, but Koot promises he will not use it un till London says he can do so. He informs London also that if they pick up the cables he will soon be able to contact them through these cables. The names of the two CID operators London has asked for are: J. Posthuma and G.J. Schuilinga. Confusing sentence about London picking up cables.

Henri Koot informs London (428) as a reaction on London' telegram 278. Orders for setting up special sabotage groups in every region in accordance with London' wishes were given by Koot in November and december 1944. London's proposition of confirming verbally issuing directives to commanders of the sabotage groups is not clear. According to Koot contact should be made through the regional commanders.

Henri Koot informs London (429) that special explosives are not needed to blow up oxygen wagons. they are too well guarded. In an occasion they are not guarded the resistance will use the explosives they already received from London.




Donderdag 25 januari, Tobias (430) heeft een nieuw droppingsveld in Noord-Holland gevonden met de naam WINNIPEG.

Londen (
294) laat op zijn beurt weten dat de droppingsoperaties door het winterweer opgehouden worden, maar men staat klaar voor ladingen voor LALOE en MARTINI. Op veld MARTINI wordt een container gedropt die gemarkeerd is met een wit kruis, hierin zit het geld en de codeboeken voor Tobias. Ook wil men weten of er op LANCASTER, HUDSON en MANDRILL weer gedropt kan worden en iedereen in Londen doet de groeten.

Vrijdag 26 januari, Londen (295) geeft aan hoe de sabotage chiefs hun orders zullen ontvangen.

The activity of each regional sabotage chief should cover one such region. Directives will be issued from London through the existing lines of communications and orders will be passed on to the regional sabotage chiefs by the regional commanders and not directly by liaison officers. These instructions are of course not issued to interfere with local sabotage orders or liquidation of personnel which Koot consider desirable and which you will continue to pass on to regions if and when necessary.




Zaterdag 27 januari, Tobias meldt (431) MANDRILL is gereed voor kleine operaties en Hil Schipper die in de buurt van MANDRILL woont is commandant van alle droppingsvelden in Noord-Holland. Hij krijgt zijn orders van Tobias en er wordt iets gemeld over de commandanten van elk veld. HUDSON en LANCASTER zijn klaar om materiaal voor 't Gooi te ontvangen.

Londen (
269) wil weten van Tobias wat hij weet over 'vredes' onderhandelingen die in Den Haag gaande zijn tussen het verzet en de SD. Ook snapt men niet wat Tobias bedoelde met het aansluiten van kabels en men vraagt zich af of er een bestaande kabelverbinding verbroken is.

Moet London (
297) een zendschema en codeboeken voor de nieuwe KLM marconist sturen waar Tobias het laatst over had?

London does not understand what Amsterdam means in telegram 427 about picking up cables. London wonders if the cable is broken, or does Amsterdam wishes London to hook up with this cable?
