Het bombardement trof uitsluitend burgers en was, zo bleek achteraf, volkomen onnodig.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">De 6-jarige Geertrui de Wit werd direct getroffen en overleed op de plaats van het bombardement. Haar zusje Dingena raakte eveneens gewond en werd naar het ziekenhuis in Beesd gebracht, waar zij herstelde. Van de buurfamilie Kroon werden de 14-jarige Adriaantje en de 9-jarige Johanna op slag gedood; hun zusje, de 8-jarige Maria Francina, overleed enkele dagen later in hetzelfde ziekenhuis in Beesd.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">De slachtoffers werden niet in een massagraf maar ieder afzonderlijk begraven op de Algemene Begraafplaats te Rijswijk, de vier Flakkeese meisjes naast elkaar, na een rouwdienst in de overvolle Nederlands Hervormde kerk, geleid door dominee Bijlsma. Het gezin De Wit vond na de ramp noodonderdak in de pastorie en later bij een postbode; pas na de bevrijding keerden zij terug naar de Langstraat.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-gdwsecmap-d9592e61fd07e60cddbb3baa24f144af main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_layout_row  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_left'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1135'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-gdwhrmap-a16bc56c577531bc4e5931ade1615fbb\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-gdwhrmap-a16bc56c577531bc4e5931ade1615fbb{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-gdwhrmap-a16bc56c577531bc4e5931ade1615fbb hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-10  el_before_av_google_map  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div> <div  class='av_gmaps_sc_main_wrap av_gmaps_main_wrap '><div id='av_gmap_0' class='avia-google-map-container avia-google-map-sc av_gmaps_show_unconditionally av-no-fallback-img ' data-mapid='av_gmap_0'  style='height: 400px;'><a class=\"av_gmaps_browser_disabled av_text_confirm_link av_text_confirm_link_visible\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/?api=1&#038;query=Ooltgensplaat,%20Nederland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kaarten zijn uitgeschakeld door de bezoeker op deze site.
