From Michael Moores LeBlanc (3/26/06):
100 BG evader/pow's name shows up in two lines at the bottom of his (Fr.
Daems) file and I believe in the summary list of airmen helped on page three
of the file. It serves to offer a clue to Chavez's attempt at evasion ...
and begs the question, how much further along the line was Chavez able to
get before he was finally trapped (Another very, very interesting clue is
the statement on Daems file saying, "He knew of Van Mulem's activities".
This short line is pregnant with implications. Rene Van Muylem (a Flemish
Nationalist), aka 'Robert', was an agent of the Abwehr III/f of Antwerp. He
was the fellow ultimately responsible for the entrapment of 177 allied
airmen (including a number of other 100 BG types who were evaders but listed
eventually as Pows). 'Robert' had managed to penetrate the Antwerp
resistance in February of 44 and developed great prestige with them by
supplying them with money, explosives, false papers, etc and rose to a high
and influential level within the leadership. By late March and then
throughout the summer of 44 (till about Aug when he went on holiday) he
'handled' most of the airmen arriving in that town. |
