Tjapko van Bergen

Tjapko Antoon van Bergen (March 26, 1903 in Heiligerlee, Groningen - February 2, 1944 in Krakolye, Leningrad, Russia) was a Dutch rower. He competed at the 1928 Summer Olympics in the Men's Coxed Pairs with Cornelis Dusseldorp; their boat capsized in the first round and they did not finish.

Van Bergen became a member of the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB), the fascist and later national-socialist organization that collaborated with the German occupier during World War II. He joined the SS and attained the rank of Rottenführer; he died "for Führer, leader, folk, and fatherland" near Narva, in Estonia, on the Eastern Front.
