Dutch agents 1940 – 1945
By Frans Kluiters
(New Version, September 2008)1
This is a comprehensive list of secret agents who infiltrated into the Netherlands on behalf of
the Allied intelligence and action services during the period 1940 – 1945.2 It results from my
research over the past twenty years, and was originally intended to help me find my way in the
welter of names, code names and aliases mentioned in the literature on Second World War
intelligence. The list is a compilation of material from old and new open sources and archives.
Some forty years ago researcher G.P. van der Stroom made a similar list on the basis of secondary
sources, which was used by L. de Jong for his official history of the Netherlands during the Second
World War. Van der Stroom’s list was incomplete and contained some errors, but, having much of the
same source material at my disposal, I started to compile my own list.
In the 1990’s part of the archives of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) became available for
research. However, these original documents often only contained the code names or aliases of their
action agents, which makes it difficult to comprehend the meaning of these papers. That is why I have
listed all the various code names and aliases of the agents, I have come across.
A problem is that MI6 archives are closed to researchers. This means that information on intelligence
agents can only be found in secondary sources and some Dutch archives. Therefore names and details
of agents who were active in the Netherlands, but do not figure in these sources or in the available
archives, may also be lacking in my list.3
There is a reason for assuming this, as major Desmond Morton, Winston Churchill’s personal
assistant, wrote to Churchill in October 1941:
‘Various personal dislikes and intrigues figure in the story of which the essential point is whether
the Dutch Secret Service has a right to demand particulars of British Secret Agents working in
Holland. […] At first glance it would seem to me that neither the Dutch nor any other allied
nations should claim a right to know all our Secret Agents in their countries even if in return they
give us the names of the agents working for them. There will obviously be occasions when mutual
disclosures are necessary to avoid confusion, but friendly cooperation between the Chiefs of the
Secret Services concerned should meet all requirements.’ 4
Some agents were called ‘Engelandvaarders’, fleeing the Netherlands by sea, land or air, and
succeeding in reaching Great Britain. Some of them were recruited straight away after being
1
Dates are given in accordance with NEN-ISO specification 8601 (2005).
Strictly speaking, one agent, Kiek, does not belong here, because he infiltrated into France instead of the
Netherlands. He has been listed solely because of his Dutch nationality. Likewise, some Dutch agents who
infiltrated on behalf of OSS into Austria, have been recorded.

During a discussion with the AIVD, the Dutch intelligence and security service, it became clear that – referring
to a recently introduced bill – they believe that the identity of former Dutch intelligence agents should not be
revealed. It is of course a noble aspiration for a service to assure their agents and informers eternal anonimity,
but the protection of intelligence agents who were active long before the AIVD came into existence seems a
holier-than-thou attitude. These agents worked for the Centrale Inlichtingendienst and their successor, Bureau
Inlichtingen, and certainly not for any post-war security service (after the war Gerbrands and Pot for example
worked for the BVD, the then Dutch security service, but no longer as agents). Furthermore, many of these
agents were portrayed – with names, aliases and other personal details – by L. de Jong in his history of the
Netherlands during the Second World War, and in numerous other publications.

interrogated at the Royal Victoria Patriotic School (later called the London Reception Centre) and the
Dutch security service.5
Two British services were active in recruiting agents: MI6 (also known as the Secret Intelligence
Service or SIS) and SOE, the Special Operations Executive. MI6 wanted agents for collecting
information about the military situation on the continent. SOE wanted agents for sabotaging the
German war machine. In order to effect this the two services collaborated with various successive
Dutch secret services. Since the Dutch influence on policy, planning and carrying out of operations
was minimal, and because these agents were only loosely affiliated to the Dutch services, especially in
the years 1940-1942, I have simply called them MI6 or SOE agents.
Officially, the MI6 agents were first employed by the Centrale Inlichtingendienst (CID), and the nongovernmental – strictly speaking even illegal – ‘Contact Holland’, then the Bureau Voorbereiding
Terugkeer/Bureau Militaire Voorbereiding Terugkeer, and lastly the Bureau Inlichtingen (BI).6 SOE
came to work with the CID too, then with the Bureau Militaire Voorbereiding Terugkeer, but after the
the Englandspiel debacle, the Bureau Bijzondere Opdrachten (BBO) took over.
It was most fortunate that in May 2008 I was contacted by aviation historian Huub van Sabben, who
offered to correct and amplify my list. As a result of his meticulous research into parachute drops
above Holland, this list has gained in accuracy. 7 Also my checking of a score of files in the National
Archives in The Hague contributed to that result. Some questions have now been answered and,
although some others remain, I think this list now forms a reliable source for historians.
However, this is still an ongoing research project, so make sure that you use the latest version of my
list. I hope it may contribute to your own research. On the other hand, I would be grateful for any
comments on and/or additions to this list.8

If known, I have mentioned the location of these interrogation reports, along with other reports, in the archives.
Some other enthusiastic researcher will have to check the RVPS interrogation reports in TNA WO 208/3663 –
WO 208/3748 for reports relating to Dutchmen (unfortunately, this type of research is not financially supported
by official Dutch historical institutions).
6
The tasks and functions of these organizations (except for ‘Contact Holland’) are specified in my book De
Nederlandse inlichtingen- en veiligheidsdiensten.

Most of Van Sabben’s data come from RAF archives in TNA.

Zij sprongen bij maanlicht, p. 232.\ Foot wrote (in SOE in the Low Countries, p. 37) that S.G.Menzies, chief of
MI6, ‘laid down that his agents were never to share an aircraft with those of any other secret service; a rule
rigidly observed till 1944, and not often relaxed then.’
