Cobas flag

In addition to the events, you can also admire Coba Pulskens' flag in the Town Hall. Coba, a resistance heroine from Tilburg, had an important role during World War II. On 9 July 1944, she proved her courage when three Allied pilots were murdered in her house by the Sicherheitspolizei. She covered their bodies with a Dutch flag, which became a symbol of resistance and hope.
