Studied in Leiden, traveled to England via Gibraltar with his fellow student Louis d’Aulnis and was trained by the Secret Intelligence Service [1] or MI6 (Military Intelligence, Section 6). He was dropped in the night of 24 to 25 September 1942 at Balloo in the province of Drenthe to become the radio operator of Karel Beukema toe Water, who was also dropped in another place that same night. They were both immediately arrested as a result of the Englandspiel [2] (Sources: [3][4]) and finally shot in Mauthausen concentration camp, then cremated and yet recovered because two Yugoslav and one Russian fellow prisoners recovered their ashes.
