| TWO BOOK IN THE MAKING |
| Dufi Kock, who lives in
Aruba, has told me he is working on two books about Aruba and
World War II. One book will cover the German ship Antilla
which was scuttled by her crew and lies off of the northwest coast of
Aruba and today is a favort spot for SCUBA divers. |
| The other book will cover
the German torpedo that landed on Eagle Beach and then exploded when
four Dutch Marines tried to disarm the torpedo. |
| Dufi informs me that both
books will be written in both Papiamento and English. |
| Dufi has sent some of the
photos that he intends to use in the book. The photos of the
graves of the four that were killed when the tropedo exploded were
obtained from The Netherlands War Graves Foundation. |
| Dufi would also like to
thank Mr. Olga van der Klooster and Mr. Michel Bakker for their
contributions to the books he is now writing. |
| The following four photos are the
grave markers of the men killed trying to disarm the torpedo, these
graves are in the Netherlands. |

| The next photo is of the entrance to San Pedro
Hospital in Oranjestad and which played a part, but of course you will
have to read the books when they are published. |
 |
| No date has been set for the
printing of these books as soo as this is know this web site will inform
you. |
