Born into a devout Catholic family, Jan Verleun dreamed of becoming a priest. When Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands, his faith was tested by war. Wounded in battle, he vowed to dedicate his life to freeing his country from occupation.
Joining the underground resistance group CS-6, Verleun used forged identities, carried out sabotage, and targeted Nazi collaborators. Guided by conscience and courage, he turned from theology to armed struggle, fighting for justice in a nation under terror.
His story captures the inner conflict of a man who sought to serve God—yet found his destiny on the battlefield of freedom.
