Request Summary: I am researching the earliest preparations for the trials of Dutch and German war criminals in 1945 in the Northern part of the Netherlands. The Canadian Field Security Section interrogated many of these (mostly) men. To complete my research I want to find out more about the role the Canadian Field Security Section played in these cases between 1 April 1945 and December 1945. I am not just looking for copies of the minutes (police reports) of these interrogations but als on their visits to the prisons of Groningen and The Hague (Scheveningen) and their visits to Schiermonnikoog. And I also want to know what happened to these officers once they returned to Canada. I have three names that I am looking for in particular: sergeant-major Boddard, captain Taylor and lieutenant Henny. But I also want to study the company they were part of, their commanders and the whole structure of the FSS in general in order to understand how this institution functioned. To my information no other Dutch historian has ever studied this.
