Paul Regout
(Robert)
∗ 05-12-1917 Maastricht † 07-05-1945 Utrecht (27)
- Maastricht - BS (Domestic Forces) -
Robert Herman Marie Regout was part of a twelve-man arrest team from the Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten that went to arrest NSB leader Anton Adriaan Mussert (born May 11, 1894 Werkendam - executed May 7, 1946) on Monday, May 7, 1945. It turned out that he had already traveled to The Hague the previous Saturday. Near the Rosarium (in Utrecht), the team encountered German soldiers pushing a vehicle. The Germans obeyed orders to stand behind the vehicle and lay down their weapons. At some point, a shot was fired. The German soldiers who were in the area responded in large numbers. The members of the arrest team were no match for the number of Germans. Only the two youngest members of the team survived the shooting. [2]
Marjolein Bax [1] calls him Paul (a resistance name?) and writes:
Paul Regout was killed in a firefight between BS-lers and Germans in front of the Rosarium next to the Wilhelminapark.
The 27-year-old Paul Regout was a controller at the Nederlandsche Buurtspoorweg-Maatschappij. He was hit in the forehead and died.
