Amsterdam Hospital, Holland

I am researching an airman who when shot down into the North Sea in July 1941 ended up in Amsterdam Hospital, via Schellingwoude, before going on to Frankfurt Am Main.
Does anyone have any idea if any of the records of this hospital have survived and where they may be examined?

Regards,

Nick

Probably Wilhelminagasthuis as that was the “normal’ stop over for POW’s on their way to Germany.
Don’t know if the recoreds are still around.

I’d say that the first question would be ‘which hospital’. Today there are several and I’d expect that even then there was more than one. The old ‘Burgerziekenhuis’ (citizenhospital) is now a city council office for starters and I don’t know how many others there may have been.

Lucas-Andreas (not sure if it was around back then), Wilhelminagasthuis, Binnengasthuis, OLV-gasthuis, Weesperpleinziekenhuis, Julianaziekenhuis…
