Towards the end of the war, Paerl became a member of the Women's Auxiliary Corps (Vrouwen Hulpkorps) of the Royal Netherlands Army.[1] After the liberation of the Netherlands in May 1945, she returned to her home country via Zeeland and was stationed in Rotterdam.[1] Shortly after, she learned that both her elder brothers were still alive. One had fled to Switzerland, while the other had stayed in the Netherlands during the war.[1]
In 1985, Paerl's husband revealed that he had been a member of the NSB for a short period of time in the beginning of World War II, after journalist Adriaan Venema had confronted him with letters he had sent to the Department of Public Information and the Arts at the time.[1] One week later, Bantzinger committed suicide by drowning.[1] Paerl herself died on 22 August 2013 in Amstelveen, at the age of 92.[4]
