Timeline

1942

Alphons Louis Eugene Timmerman (1904 – 7 July 1942) (assigned the codename Scruffy by the British) was a Belgian ship's steward who became a spy for the German intelligence agency, the Abwehr, during the Second World War. He was captured by the security services upon his arrival in Britain in September 1941. MI5 officers posed as Timmerman in correspondence with the Abwehr in an attempt to deceive them as to the competence of the British security services. This attempt was unsuccessful as German intelligence officers failed to spot deliberate mistakes in the letters, but did help to disprove the Abwehr's previously good reputation for intelligence work. Timmerman admitted to being a spy and was executed at Wandsworth Prison in 1942.

MI5 had no further use for Timmerman and to prove to the Abwehr that he had never been at liberty to communicate with them he was sent for trial at the Old Bailey. Timmerman was tried in camera by Mr Justice Humphreys on 20 May 1942 in what was later described as a "rapid, secret" hearing. He was found guilty of treason (Belgium being a British ally) and executed at Wandsworth Prison on 7 July 1942 by hanging. The execution was carried out the same day as that of José Estelle Key, a British citizen and Gibraltar resident convicted of spying for Germany and the pair were two of 16 spies executed by Britain during the war. The executions of Key and Timmerman were carried out by Albert Pierrepoint, assisted by Harry Kirk, Henry William Critchell and Stephen Wade. Timmerman, a slight man, required a drop of 9 feet (2.7 m), longer than usual, to ensure his neck was broken by the fall.

1941

After the start of the Second World War Timmerman arrived at Gibraltar claiming to have escaped Nazi persecution in Belgium. He made his way to Scotland, arriving at Rothesay Dock in Glasgow on 1 September 1941 where he claimed asylum as a refugee. Timmerman was taken to the Royal Victoria Patriotic School which was run as a "reception centre" by the British security services to interview newly arrived foreign nationals.
