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: List of agents dropped during the Englandspiel over the Netherlands [3] and Monument for the Engelandvaarders (Clandestine travelers to England who wanted to join the Allies) in Mauthausen. [4])
Finally shot in Mauthausen concentration camp, then cremated and yet recovered because two Yugoslav and one Russian fellow prisoners recovered their ashes. See: Collective tomb of secret agents at Mauthausen [5]).
Kees Droogleever-Fortuyn is listed in the Erelijst 1940-1945 (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament). [7]
