He later joined the Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten (Domestic Armed Forces), where he was mainly involved in collecting and storing weapons.
On 16 December 1944, his brother Ary and a friend were arrested during a spy mission near Barneveld. During harsh interrogations, during which torture was used, his brother remained silent, but his friend broke down and gave information about and the key to the Pallashuis.As a result, in the early morning of 19 December, all those present in the Pallashuis, including Prins, were arrested by the Sipo. They were transferred to the House of Detention on Weteringschans and put on the Todeskandidaten list of those eligible for execution by firing squad in reprisal.
On 7 January 1945, Prins, along with his brother Ary and eight others, was shot in Limmen as a reprisal for the resistance killing a German conscript. The occupying forces ordered the ten bodies to be buried in a mass grave in the dunes near Overveen.
