England was sending Dutch agents to a certain death in WWII

The truth may never be known...

Let's hope it indeed was for the reason the last surviving agent believes it to be:

None of the key British players ever published their inside stories. As for the Dutch, perhaps the last word should go to Huub Lauwers, the last surviving agent.

He remains convinced that if he and his fellow agents were mere pawns in the "Englandspiel" it was the British, and not the Germans, who controlled the game.

"The British were playing the game for the highest stakes," he explains. "If it served to make only one section of the Allied invasion army safe, then the lives that were lost were not lost in vain."

I'm not going to try and armchair quarterback a war that threatened virtually every country's existence, but, man, you really realize the high stakes the intelligence services on all sides were playing for with stuff like this. Sending 50 men to their certain death? Someone's not sleeping well at night.

Imagine knowing they will be caught but having to send them anyway to prevent the Germans from suspecting anything, and not being able to tell the people you send nor the ones trying to warn you about why you do it...
 
Agent Smith ownz joo!!! It's all about the Matrix, people. If we find a way out of here, to the real world, things will suddenly change quite dramatically, I'm sure.
