Husmandsskolen blev beslaglagt af tyskerne den 4. oktober 1943.
Skolen var frygtet og blev symbolet på Gestapos grusomhed.
Modstandsbevægelsen havde flere planer om at angribe skolen men
måtte opgive, derfor anmodede man englænderne om at bombe skolen.
Sidst på eftermiddagen den 17. april blev skolen blev bombet af
Royal Air Force. RAF havde svært ved at lokalisere Husmandsskolen
og der måtte 3 overflyvninger til inden målet blev lokaliseret og
selv da var der flere fejlslagne bombenedslag. Bombardementet gik
hårdt ud over civilbefolkningen – 9 blev dræbt og adskillige
huse i Tarup området blev ramt. Der skete ingen tab på tysk side,
da de havde fået varsel om at bombeflyene havde retning mod Odense.
Efter bombardementerne på Gestapos hovedkvarterer i København og
Århus, var Gestapo i Odense forberedte på angreb. Husmandsskolen
blev aldrig genopbygget.
På 60 årsdagen for angrebent blev mindestenen rejst af
Paarupforeningen og Paarup Lokalhistoriske Arkiv.
Ved indvielsen læste Bent Vesterled navnene op på de ni borgere,
der blev dræbt under angrebet. Den yngste var Inge Lindegaard
Madsen på bare otte år, den ældste Niels Marius Christensen på 75
år.
" Den sten, vi skal afsløre i dag, taler sit meget tydelige
sprog om, at når der er krig, får ondskaben et særligt råderum",
sagde tidligere chefredaktør og modstandsmand, Bent A. Koch. Og
ondskaben fandtes på Husmandsskolen. "- Ondskaben var i kælderen.
Det var her, der blev begået tortur mod fangerne"
Selve stenen blev afsløret af Knud Andersen, som overlevede
bombardementet. Til gengæld mistede han sin mor og en
skolekammerat.
ENG;
Husmandsskolen were seized by
the Germans on 4 October 1943.
The school was feared and
became the symbol of Gestapo cruelty. Resistance had several plans to
attack the school but had to abandon, therefore, asked the British
to bomb the school. Late in the afternoon of the
17th April was the school was bombed
by the Royal Air Force. RAF had difficulty locating
Husmandsskolen and had 3 over flights within the target was located
and even then there were several failed bomb killing.
Bombardment were very hard on
civilians - 9 were killed and several houses in Tarup area were
hit. There were no losses on the
German side, as they had received notice of the bombers had towards
Odense. After the bombing of the
Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen and Aarhus, was the Gestapo in
Odense prepared for attack. Husmandsskolen was never
rebuilt.
At 60 years of regret bent was
the monument erected by Paarupforeningen and Paarup Local History
Archive.
At the inauguration read Bent
Vesterled names up on the nine citizens who were killed during the
attack. The youngest was Inge
Lindegaard Madsen in just eight years, the oldest Niels Marius
Christensen of 75 years. - "The stone, we must reveal
today, speaks his language very clear that when there is war, get
evil a particular space," said former editor in chief and
resistance fighter, Bent A. Koch. And evil was found at
Husmandsskolen. "- Evil was in the basement. It
was here that committed torture against prisoners"
The very stone was yesterday
unveiled by Knud Andersen, who survived the bombardment.
In return, he lost his mother
and a
