Tweede missie van Tobias Biallosterski uitgevoerd samen met de marconisten Pieter de Vos en Paul Polak.





Zondag 19 november, dit bericht van Tobias (227) komt zwaar verminkt binnen, het lijkt over een droppingsveld te gaan, maar waar is niet duidelijk. Hensbroek ligt wel erg dicht in de buurt van Rustenburg waar een schietpartij is geweest.
Tobias (228) laat weten dat men wilde dat de RAF diverse spoorwegen rond Haarlem, Amersfoort en Utrecht aanviel omdat via deze verbinding de opgepakte mannen uit Rotterdam naar Duitsland of elders vervoerd werden.
Paul Polak (31) verstuurt een eigen telegram over het materiaal dat hij ontvangen heeft, ook dit telegram komt verminkt binnen. De accu's zijn nu wel heel binnengekomen, maar de ontvangers liggen in duigen. Ook heeft hij twee A Mk3 sets binnen gekregen met bepaalde serienummers, waar zouden deze sets, die nu te identificeren zijn, zich heden ten dage bevinden? Paul heeft niet alles binnengekregen en hij begint ongeduldig te worden. In het vervolg moeten alle goederen die hij bestelt apart verpakt worden en aan ASPASIA, (Willy Gijzen), geadresseerd zijn. Zij is de koerierster van Paul Polak en komt uit de studenten verzetsbeweging. Zij was ook bekend onder de naam Anita.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA TORRIDGE STOP MY TWO TWO SEVEN (227) STOP I THINK P.CATION VOLOU KSZXG SOUTH WEST ACKEFGMEER POLDER OK BUT CANNOT FIND YOUR VILLAGE AT HENSBROEK END
Tobias reacts (227) on a telegram from London and it is about a dropping field that has been offered by Tobias.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA PLYM STOP MY TWO TWO EIGHT (228) STOP YOUR ONE FOUR ONE STOP WE DID ASK TO ATTACK RAILWAY TARGETS BECAUSE GERMANS WERE TRANSPORTING PEOPLE FROM ROTTERDAM OVER THIS LINE END
Tobias answers London (228) on their question from telegram 141. He tells London that he requested these attacks on a railway because the Germans are using it to transport the men who were arrested during the big razzia in Rotterdam. One of them was Luke Mulholland (Podex), but the Germans never found out he was a SOE agent.
FROM BOATING VIA PLYM STOP MY THREE ONE (31) STOP YOUR NR FOUR NEXHU TO PDPD NOT RECEIVED EITHER SETS OR CRYSTALS BOR (BUT) ANYTHING ELSE ASKED STOP RECEIVED TWO TYPE THREE MARK TWO NUMBERS FOUR THREE SEVEN SIX SIX (43766) AND FOUR THREE SEVEN FIVE FIVE (43755) STOP LAST ONE WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS BOOKLET STOP PREFER A RPT P (A) MARK THREE (AMk3) AS I AM WORKING ON ACCUS STOP IS THIS ALL YOU SENT ME STOP WHAT ABOUT CLOTHING AND MONEY STOP AM GETTING IMPATIENT STOP POSSIBLY BUT NOW FORWARDED TO ME THEREFORE PLEASE ADDRESS EVERYTHING SEPARETELY TO ASPASIA AND ADVISE ME AFTER AFTER BEEN DROPPED END
Paul Polak informs London (31) that he did not receive a certain message from London. Paul and Bram did not receive the sets and the crystals they asked for, but everything else found its way to them. They also receive 2 a Mk3 set with the numbers 43766 and 43755. The last one came in without the instruction booklet. Paul prefers a A Mk3 because he is using accu's. Paul asks if this is all London sent to him. What about the clothes and the money he asked for? He is getting impatient. Instead of marking the goods he asked for with Douwe, London must now mark everything with Aspasia and he wants to be informed when the goods have been dropped. Aspasia is Willy Gijzen, Paul's own courier. This telegram is very strange, it looks like pieces are missing.
Maandag 20 november, Tobias (229) spreekt zijn ongenoegen over de dropping op veld SALLY, de containers vielen 800 meter van het pinpoint en enkelen gingen dwars door een paar kassen. De grondploeg heeft 19 containers kunnen bergen en Tobias vraagt hoeveel containers er gedropt zijn..
De DC, Henri Koot laat weten dat de Duitsers van plan zijn alle mannen tussen de 17 en 40 jaar naar Duitsland af te voeren, volgens hem is dit de methode om de wederopbouw na de oorlog te blokkeren. De rest van het telegram ontbreekt bij het NIOD.
Tobias laat de slagzin voor veld OLIVER veranderen evenals de te seinen codeletter. Hij had een paar bruine schoenen bij Londen besteld, maar deze waren na de dropping verdwenen.
Londen laat weten dat het vliegtuig wat op zaterdag 18 november een lading op veld SALLY zou droppen vanwege motorstoring niet op had kunnen stijgen. Verder verklaart men dat de piloot eigenlijk een lading voor OLIVER had, maar dat hij geen ontvangst comité had gezien. Wel zag hij de lampen van SALLY en dropte zijn lading van 21 containers daarom daar maar. Tijdens deze dropping zijn er dus twee containers verloren gegaan. De BBC slagzin en de codeletter voor veld OLIVER zullen worden aangepast en men wacht met droppen van ladingen op veld SALLY tot Tobias groen licht daarvoor geeft.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA TORRIDGE STOP MY NUMBER TWO TWO NINE (229) STOP SALLY RECEIVED LOAD LAST NIGHT BUT DROPPING WAS NOT CORRECT NEARLY EIGHT HUNDRED METRES FROM OINOINT (PINPOINT) AND DAMAGED SOME HOTHOUSES STOP NINETEEN CONTAINERS IN OUR HANDS HOW MANY DID YOU DROP STOP RECEPTION OLIVER WAS NOT ON BECAUSE OF GERMAN ACTIVITY END
Tobias informs London (229) that field SALLY received its load, but the dropping was not carried out in the right way by the RAF. The containers fell almost 800 meters away from the pinpoint and they went through the roofs of some hothouses. The resistance was able to safe 19 containers and Tobias want to know how many were dropped, so he can figure out how many were lost. Field OLIVER did not switch on its lights due to German activities nearby.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA TORRIDGE STOP MY TWO THREE ZERO (230) STOP IN DISCUSSION WITH DUTCH AUTHORITIES GERMANS LET KNOW THAT IN A VERY SHORT TIME ALL DUTCHMEN FROM SEVENTEEN TO FORTY WILL BE LED AWAY TO GERMANY STOP AT AMSTERDAM NO MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND PERMITS WILL BE GIVEN TO PERSONNEL OF FACTORIES WORKING FOR GERMANS AND SO ON STOP RAZZIAS AT AMSTERDAM WERE TO BEGIN NEXT WEDNESDAY STOP BRTS COMMANDANT ASKED FOR REINFORCING TWO REGIMENTS STOP THIS LEADING AWAY OF DUTCHMEN IS LOOKED UPON BY ME AS A METHODE TO ELIMINATE DUTCH PEOPLE FOR PERIOD AFTER LIBERATION STOP IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IN VIEW OPERATIONS IN SHORT TIME PLEASE I ASK ... geen tekst meer zichtbaar.
Henri Koot is asking London (230) for help to prevent that all Dutchmen between the age of 17 and 40 will be taken to Germany. He found out about this after Dutch authorities in Holland talked about this with the German occupiers. In the city of Amsterdam only 200 permits will be handed out by the Germans to men who are working in factories that are of value to the German war effort. Koot believes that the big razzia to round up everybody else will start next Wednesday. The German commander of Amsterdam asked for two more regiments to carry out this razzia. Koot thinks that these razzia's are ment to eliminate the Dutch workforce so the country can not be rebuild after the liberation. So Koot would like the RAF to carry out bombing mission on railways, so the Germans can not transport the captured to Germany.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA TORRIDGE STOP CAN YOU CHANGE BBC FOR OLIVER IN WIE HEEFT MIJN BRUINE SCHOENEN MEEGENOMENSTOP AND CHANGE LETTER L IN H FOR HARWICH END
Tobias informs London that he wants to change the BBC code sentence into "Wie heeft mijn bruine schoenen meegenomen?" (Who stole my brown shoes? They were actually stolen by a member to the groundcrew of OLIVER) and the signal letter has to be changed from L into H.
TO DRAUGHTS VIA NIGHT TORRIDGE STOP OUR ONE FOUR FOUR (144) STOP SATURDAY NIGHT SALLY AIRCRAFT DID NOT TAKE OFF BECAUSE OF ENGINE TROUBLE STOP OLIVER PILOT SAW SALLY RECEPTION AND DROPPED TWENTY ONE CONTAINERS STOP SORRY ABOUT THIS AND WILL CHANGE OLIVER BBC MESSAGE AND SIGNAL AS PER YOUR REQUEST STOP AWAIT YOUR FURTHER NEWS BEFORE DROPPING TO SALLY AGAIN END
London informs Tobias (144) that the original plane that had to drop a load on field SALLY never took off due to engine trouble. The pilot who had to drop a load on field OLIVER noticed the lights of field SALLY and dropped 21 containers (so 2 are missing). London says sorry for this and they will change de BBC code sentence and the signal letter like Tobias asked for. London waits for further news from Tobias about field SALLY before they will drop an other load.
TO DRAUGHTS VIA NIGHT TORRIDGE STOP OUR ONE FOUR FIVE (145) STOP TO DC STOP REGRET CONTENTS YOUR TWO THREE ZERO STOP ALTHOUGH RAZZIAS MAY BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WE FEEL A LOT OF IT MAYBE GERMAN PROPAGANDA TO INTIMIDATE RESISTANCE STOP DO NOT BE HISHEARTED (DISHEARTED) WE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN END
London informs Henri Koot (145) they believe that the tread of the Germans to deport all men between the age of 17 and 40 to Germany is just propaganda to intimidate the resistance. The resistance should not be dishearted and London is doing what it can.
Dinsdag 21 november, Tobias meldt dat het veld BLUEBOTTLE (232) klaar is om een lading te ontvangen. In de Achterhoek kan men tussen twee 's nachts en vier uur in de ochtend geen ladingen ontvangen vanwege Duitse activiteiten in dat gebied. Ook meldt hij in de Noorder Amstellaan over directe telefoonlijnen beschikken met zijn marconisten, hierdoor kunnen berichten sneller doorgegeven worden en hoeven de meisjes niet meer heen en weer te fietsen. Ook heeft hij directe verbindingen met 't Gooi, Alkmaar en Haarlem.
Tobias (233) laat weten dat in Amsterdam zijn enige leiders van de KP gearresteerd zijn en het lijkt hem beter even geen wapens op de KP velden CADILLAC en ALBERTICINE te droppen.
Tobias (234) laat Londen weten dat hij weer een nieuw codeboek heeft ontvangen en een beetje cynisch vraagt hij Londen hoeveel jaren hij nog in Amsterdam moet blijven.
Tobias (235) laat London weten dat hij DIRK kent als 'Van der Ploeg', maar de commandant van district Utrecht twijfelt aan de veiligheid.
Tobias (236) geeft aan dat veld SALLY niet meer te gebruiken is. De piloot heeft de containers inderdaad met de wind mee gedropt en daardoor gingen de parachutes te laat open. Uiteindelijk heeft men toch alle 21 containers in veiligheid kunnen brengen. Tobias vraagt of men in het vervolg de containers wil nummeren. GUUS , Frank Hamilton, vraagt om Eureka bakens, S-Phones, rubber laarzen en fietsbanden. De velden OLIVER, MARTINI en LALOE zijn weer gereed om ladingen te ontvangen.
Londen (146) wil op zijn beurt weten of de genoemde 2530 gewapende verzetsmannen zich in heel Noord-Holland bevinden, of alleen in Amsterdam.
London (147) bevestigt dat 'Van der Ploeg' inderdaad DIRK (Sjeerp Postma) is, maar wat bedoelt Tobias met de zin dat de commandant van district Utrecht hem niet vertrouwt, of vertrouwt zijn organisatie Dirk niet? In het laatste bericht van Dirk geeft hij aan dat iedereen van de KP, RRV en OD nu tevreden is met de samensmelting in district Utrecht. De commandant (Siem de Man) heeft door toedoen van Dirk wapens veilig kunnen ontvangen en volgens Dirk heeft de commandant 6000 man ter beschikking, waarvan er nu 2000 bewapend zijn.
Pieter de Vos (31) laat Londen weten dat hij en Paul drie dezelfde frequenties hebben en dat lijkt hem een gevaarlijke situatie. Hij wil dat Londen drie nieuwe frequenties uitgeeft en dus per frequentie 2 nieuwe kristallen stuurt.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA PLYM STOP MY TWO THREE TWO (232) STOP GROUND BLUEBOTTLE IS READY TO RECEIVE STOP FOR THE ACHTERHOEK IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RECEIVE BETWEEN TWO AND FOUR OWING GERMAN ACTIVITY STOP AT LAST DROPPING MANY CONTAINERS DAMAGED STOP I GOT NOW OWN TELEPHONE CONNECTION WITH GOOI ALKMAAR UTRECHT HAARLEM AND OWN LINES WITH OPERATORS END
Tobias in forms London (232) that field BLUEBOTTLE in the Achterhoek is ready to receive a load. However they can not receive it between 02.00 and 04.00 hrs due to German activity in the neighbourhood. During the last dropping (possibly on field SALLY) many containers were damaged (did the pilot drop them with the wind direction?). Tobias also informs London that he has a telephone connection with 't Gooi, Alkmaar, Utrecht and Haarlem. He also has direct telephone lines to his WT operators Paul and Pieter. This means they no longer need couriers and sending and receiving messages will go much quicker.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA TORRIDGE STOP MY TWO THREE THREE (233) STOP PLEASE CAN YOU STOP DROPPING ON KP GROUNDS CADYLLAC AND ALBERTICINE TILL EVERYTHING IS CLEAR STOP THERE ARE A FEW ARRESTATIONS KP LEADERS AMSTERDAM END
Tobias asks London (233) to stop dropping loads on the KP fields CADILLAC and ALBERTICNE, because a few KP leaders have been arrested in Amsterdam. Tobias wants to know what the situation is like and if both fields are still safe.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA PLYM STOP MY TWO THREE FOUR (234) STOP WHY DID YOU SEND ME AGAIN CODES DO YOU WISH ME TO STAY HERE A FEW YEARS STOP NR CODE THREE ZERO NINE NINE A FOR ADAM STOP DONT UNDERSTAND MESSAGE JQRM (FROM) INSIDE END
Tobias asks London (234) why they sent him an other set of codes. He wonders if he has to do this job for an other couple of years. The codebook carries the number 3099A. Tobias does not understand the message from inside.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA PLYM STOP MY TWO THREE FIVE (235) STOP YOUR ONE THREE ONE STOP I DO KNOW DIRK AS VAN DER PLOEG STOP COMMANDER UTRECHT IS NOT SURE ABOUT SECURITY END
Tobias informs London (235) he knows Dirk by his alias 'Van der Ploeg'. The commander of district Utrecht is not sure about security.
FROM DRAUGHTS VIA PLYM STOP MY TWO THREE SIX (236) STOP SALLY CAN NO LONGER BE USED STOP PILOT DROPPED BEFORE THE WIND TWENTY ONE CONTAINERS SAFE PLEASE NUMBER CONTAINERS STOP GUUS ASKS FOR EUREKAS S-PHONES RUBBER BOOTS AND TYRES STOP OLIVER MARTINI AND LALOE READY IMMEDIATELY END
Tobias informs London (236) that field SALLY can no longer be used (Why?) The pilot who dropped a load on field SALLY dropped indeed before the wind, so the parachutes of the containers opened too late. Tobias asks London to number each container. Guus (Frank Hamilton) is asking for Eureka beacons, S-Phones, rubber boots and bicycle tyres. The fields OLIVER, MARTINI and LALOE are ready again to receive loads.
TO DRAUGHTS VIA NIGHT TORRIDGE STOP OUR ONE FOUR SIX (146) STOP DOES YOUR FIGURE TWO FIVE THREE ZERO ARMED RESISTANCE MEN REPRESENT TOTAL PROVINCE NOORD HOLLAND OR ONLY FOR AMSTERDAM AREA STOP IF THERE ARE OTHER ... geen tekst meer zichtbaar/no more text visible.
London wants to know from Henri Koot (146) about the figure of 2530 armed resistance men. Is this the number of whole North-Holland, or just the city of Amsterdam?
TO DRAUGHTS VIA NIGHT TORRIDGE STOP OUR ONE FOUR SEVEN (147) STOP WE CONFIRM DIRK IS VAN DER PLOEG STOP DO YOU MEAN COMMANDER UTRECHT IS NOT SURE OF SECURITY DIRK OR DOES HE REFER TO THE ORGANISATION STOP LAST MESSAGE FROM DIRK SAID KP RVV OD NOW ALL HAPPY AND AMALGAMATED IN PROVINCE UTRECHT STOP IS COMMANDANT RECEIVING ARMS SAFELY THROUGH DIRK AND CAN HE CONFIRM TOTAL SIX THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MEN OF WHICH TWO THOUSAND ARMED STATED BY DIRK END
London confirms (147) that 'Van der Ploeg' is indeed SOE agent Dirk. London does not understand what Tobias means by "Commander is sure about security". Is the commander not sure about Dirk's security or the security of his district? In Dirk's last message to London, he informed them that the KP, RVV and OD are satisfied by merging into the NBS. It was through Dirk that the commander (Siem de Man) safely received his weapons and the commander stated he has 6000 men under his command, of which 2000 are armed.
FROM BACKGAMMON VIA PLYM, STOP MY NO THIRTY ONE (31) STOP REFERENCE AHIRAJ TWO OF DOUWE STOP MY FRQUENCIES ONE COMMA FOUR AND FIVE SAME AS DOUWES STOP THESE FREQUENCIES THUS ALSO DANGEROUS STOP CHANGE THEM SOONEST AND SEND TWO CRYSTALS OF THE NEW FREQUENCIES EACH STOP TWO STOP
Pieter de Vos informs London (31) that he and Paul are sharing the same three frequencies. Namely crystals number 1, 4 and 5. If they both use these frequencies this might be dangerous. He wants London to change this and they must give either one of them three new frequencies and two crystals for each new frequency.
