Title
Spionageverhaal van "Mieke Dekkers", item 6
Description
Nederlands: Maria van Echelpoel geboren in Vosselaar, als jong meisje gaan dienen in Antwerpen. Reis Antwerpen-Vosselaar. Ze kwam in aanraking met de verzetsbeweging. Woonde in de Steenovenstraat. Ook gekend als Mieke Dekkers. Zij smokkelde gegevens van Turnhout/Vosselaar naar Antwerpen. Vanuit Antwerpen gingen de documenten dan naar Brussel. De Duitse bezetters vermoedden iets en op het einde van de oorlog werd de spionage ontdekt. Daarop dook Maria van Echelpoel onder in Antwerpen (omgeving Eiermarkt). In Vosselaar wisten haar ouders van niets. Maria verborg de documenten in Vosselaar nabij het Bergeneindse pad. Vandaar smokkelde ze de documenten naar Turnhout (Zandstraat). Haar broer was machinist op de tram. Ze is nooit ontdekt. De papieren zaten verstopt tussen de kolen van de (stoom)tram. Apotheker Vandenbussche bevestigde dit verhaal nadien, hij had familie in Antwerpen, die documenten had ontvangen via Maria Van Echelpoel. Zij kreeg nadien een medaille van het Engelse koningshuis voor haar bewezen diensten. Er zijn ook foto's van haar ouders. Haar dochter leeft nog. Zij leeft in Antwerpen en is blind.
