Who is Prosper Dezitter?
Prosper Dezitter was a Belgian collaborator with Nazi Germany in World War II.
Posing as "Captain Jackson", a British airman on the run, he infiltrated a resistance group led by Marcel Demonceau.
He also ran an escape line for downed allied airmen, which was in reality a ruse to capture them and members of the resistance.
After the War, Dezitter was arrested in Germany, extradited to Belgium, and condemned to death. He was executed at Ixelles on 17 September 1948.
The National Archives in London hold two files of papers on Dezitter, reference KV 2/1732 and KV 2/1733.
