LIST OF THOSE WHO DIED IN WWII DURING 1940-1945 A letter No. 5259, dated May 27, 1948, from His Excellency the Governor of Curacao was sent to His Excellency the Governor of Aruba to request a thorough investigation and to come up with a list of all those who died in World War II, during 1940-1945.
