Staff Quarter General Student Dinxperlo

This white villa at 11 Kwikkelstraat was requisitioned by the German occupier on 12 October 1944 to be used as headquarters for the general staff of General Kurt Student. The area around the villa was Sperrgebiet and next to this villa several houses were requisitioned in Dinxperlo to quarter soldiers. The villa was camouflaged with red-brown paint and covered with pine. Despite the camouflage, the villa was bombed without major damage.

The white villa on the Kwikkelstraat was built in 1938 by the director of the Metaalgaasweveerij in Dinxperlo.
