Semi-clandestine activities 1939-41
-
The reason we distributed these leaflets was to alert the population and the workers in the factories.
-
We distributed leaflets in front of the factories and in different neighborhoods.
-
Often we would do that at night. But at night there were also police patrols.
-
So there would be two or three of us to distribute the leaflets and two or three to watch out for the police.
-
We had to be very careful.
-
We took many precautions: we’d hide the material to make the leaflets at someone’s place, the paper with somebody else.
-
We’d try to distribute them at night, to escape from the police.
-
But the police was there at night as well.
-
We also handed out leaflets at the gates of the factories, even though we were quite visible there.
-
We took precautions there as well. One of us would be on the look out for the police.
-
We’d leave around two or three o’clock in the morning to distribute the leaflets.
-
Sometimes we’d distribute them in front of the factory gates, even though that was very risky.
-
It was also difficult to produce the leaflets. It was good to distribute them, but they had to be made first!
-
So we tried to find friends that were not too well known and take the material there -
-
the mimeograph machine, and the typewriter and hide them in the basement.
-
We had to take precautions to protect these friends, but to be able to continue with our activities as well.
-
We organized ourselves, trying to find places where we could secretly meet,
-
where two or three of us could meet, maybe four, never more than four.
-
We would meet in a basement or at friends’ not known for their political activities, but willing to help.
