On the evening of 6 March 1945, SS Captain Rauter was severely wounded in an attack at Woeste Hoeve, near Apeldoorn. In reprisal for this action, over 100 people were executed at the same spot two days later. Justus Hoek was one of them. He lies buried at Loenen field of honour in the municipality of Ede.
