This memorial page is dedicated to Fritz Czerlinski, one of more than 725 war victims connected to the municipality of Deurne documented by Stichting Oorlogsslachtoffers. The municipality of Deurne and the surrounding villages of Liessel, Vlierden, Helenaveen, Neerkant and Zeilberg were liberated in the autumn of 1944 during heavy fighting. Victims fell on all sides: Allied soldiers from countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and New Zealand, and German soldiers.

But the archive covers more than just the combat victims on Deurne soil. Residents of Deurne who lost their lives elsewhere are also commemorated: civilians who were murdered in concentration camps, forced labourers who died in Germany, people who were executed or succumbed to the effects of persecution and oppression. In addition, residents of Deurne who entered German military service and were killed elsewhere are also included.

Stichting Oorlogsslachtoffers has been documenting the story of all these people since 1995, without distinction of nationality, side or background. The goal is to give every person a name and a face, and to keep their memory alive.

Additional information

Grave location: Section P, Row 6, Grave 150

Husband of Christel Nehrke, with residence at Feldstraße 57 in Wedel (Schleswig-Holstein)

" style="text-align: justify;">His remains are said to have been originally buried in Maaseik (Belgium) and later transferred to Mierlo (I-B-10). The latter seems unlikely, although the Allies did reburial several German war casualties from the Netherlands to Maaseik. The fact is that his last known grave, before his remains were reburied at Ysselsteyn on 30 September 1948, was in Mierlo.
