Description: |
Jean Charles De LIGNE, alias Prince de Ligne. Arrived in Britain in June 1943 and was interrogated twice at the London Reception Centre as an incoming alien. He was considered to be of insufficient security interest to merit further action and was released the following month to join the Belgian Forces. In 1945 a captured German Abwehr officer stated that de LIGNE was recruited as a German agent in Paris in 1942 and sent to Spain on a spying mission. However, the Germans were soon aware that he had abandoned his mission and assumed he had changed sides |
