Mark Hugerinus Paap (24 November 1962 - 24 November 2024) was a Dutch resistance leader and the founder and central symbolic figure of the Fish Collective. He played a central role in the collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen and personally killed its leader, Eef Paap, during his final operation.
Early life
Mark Hugerinus Paap was born on 24 November 1962 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He later lived in Spijkenisse and worked as an automation worker.
Family
Mark Hugerinus Paap was married and had two children. His wife and both children were killed in the Air Fiji Flight 27 crash in 2014. Following the crash, Mark was left with a puppy that had belonged to the family. The dog remained with him throughout his subsequent activities and accompanied him during his final operations.
Air Fiji Flight 27 and radicalization
In 2014, the crash of Air Fiji Flight 27 killed Mark Hugerinus Paap's wife and two children. The Tanoa Einsatzgruppen publicly blamed the incident on local actors, though later disclosures and resistance sources linked the event to Einsatzgruppen military activity.
The loss of his family marked a turning point in Mark's life. From 2014 onward, he increasingly focused on investigating the Einsatzgruppen and attempting to reach Tanoa. In 2019, he was ambushed by the Tanoanische-Urwaldkorps while attempting to enter Tanoa and escaped via Rereki to New Caledonia.
Formation of the Fish Collective
In 2019, Mark Hugerinus Paap co-founded the Fish Collective together with his cousin, John Hugerinus Paap. The organization was intentionally decentralized, rejecting formal hierarchy and command structures. Mark functioned as a symbolic and strategic figure rather than a formal leader.
The name "Fish Collective" was adopted in 2021, referencing the maritime background of the founders' families and emphasizing collective action.
Activities
From 2021 onward, the Fish Collective escalated its activities, combining intelligence exposure with targeted direct action. Between 2024 and 2025, actions attributed to the group contributed to:
- The collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen
- The dismantling of the Bucharest Butchers
- The exposure and removal of senior figures across Europe and overseas territories
Luganville ambush
On 10 November 2024, Mark killed Juan Jose Grenillon in Luganville, eastern Tanoa. Local residents had informed him that forces from the Féminas-abteilung Nacional de Eef Paap were active around the village. Grenillon and the soldiers under him were present for a briefing connected to the seizure and sexual assault of native girls, which had become one of the department's priorities during its final period.
Mark attacked the FNdEP group while operating alone. He killed the guards from distance with an M24 sniper rifle, after which Grenillon fled into an abandoned house in the village. Mark followed him inside. Grenillon attempted to use a Luger P08 pistol, but the weapon jammed. He then attacked Mark directly and knocked the rifle from his hands.
Mark overpowered Grenillon during the close fight and killed him inside the house. The killing was later recorded in Mark Hugerinus Paap's field diary. After searching several of the dead soldiers for ammunition and supplies, Mark left Luganville.
The deaths of Grenillon and the FNdEP soldiers caused the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen to tighten security around vital areas, especially northern Tanoa and Ravi-Ta. The response reflected the disintegration of the organization's command structure in the final weeks before Eef Paap's death.
Final operation
Mark Hugerinus Paap's final operation began on 23 November 2024 in southern Tanoa. After moving north through jungle terrain around Mont Tanoa, he separated from accompanying resistance members at Petit Nicolet and departed alone by boat.
After diverting via Vatu, Mark reached Ipota, where he infiltrated the villa of Eef Paap. During a firefight inside the villa, Mark sustained gunshot wounds to the stomach and shoulder. He shot and killed Eef Paap before withdrawing.
Mark later collapsed on the beach of Ipota and died from his injuries on the evening of 24 November 2024.
Death
Mark Hugerinus Paap died on 24 November 2024 on Ipota. His dog was later found alive near his body on the beach. The animal was recovered by local inhabitants shortly after the collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen.
Legacy
Following his death, the Fish Collective fragmented into semi-independent cells that continued operating without centralized leadership.
Mark Hugerinus Paap remains a central symbolic figure within the organization's legacy, frequently referenced in internal communications and resistance narratives.
