Student (Oorlogsgravenstichting.nl [5]) and machinist (Honor Roll of the Fallen [1]). Died on the night of July 8-9, 1944, in a firefight with landwachters (land guards) [7] near Leeuwen [4]. In a letter to the editor of the Veluwsch Dagblad [2], resistance comrades reported that Van Schaik and Knottenbelt had fallen for the Fatherland at 1:15 am. They belonged to the LO and the CP of the district Maas and Waal. Jan is buried on the national field of honor in Loenen [3]. For a more detailed account of this deadly encounter with the landwachters [7], see Traces of War [6]. A quote:
On the night of July 8-9, 1944, resistance men from Wamel disguised as policemen went to Boven-Leeuwen to attack a controller of the food supply authority. He was suspected of embezzling flour for his own use. On the way, however, the group of resistance fighters encountered a patrol of the Landwacht, which immediately opened fire. Van Schaik, who was armed only with a dagger, and Frans Knottenbelt were fatally shot.
