Christiaan Antonius Lindemans (Rotterdam, 24 October 1912 – Scheveningen, 18 July 1946), the fourth son of Joseph Hendrik Lindemans and Christina Antonia van Uden, was a Dutch double agent during the Second World War, working under Soviet control.
Otherwise known as Freddi Desmet, officer in the Belgian army and SOE agent with security clearance at the Dutch Military Intelligence Division of the SOE (MID/SOE).
He is better known under his nickname "King Kong" or in some circles as "le Tueur" (the Killer) as he undertook missions to kill and was ready to shoot at the slightest provocation.
There is speculation that Lindemans may have been a member of Colonel Claude Dansey's Z organisation. He is blamed for betraying the plans of Operation Market Garden, or more precisely, the Arnhem operation to the enemy and as a result caused the Allies defeat at the battle of Arnhem in 1944, the loss of the battle prolonged the war by 6 months, allowing the Red Army to enter Berlin first.Krist, as he was called by his comrades, had worked for the Allies with great bravery, being personally responsible for the death of at least of twenty-seven Germans during the guerrilla war in the outskirts of Antwerp.
A natural risk-taker, he didn't know the meaning of fear; unfortunately neither did he know the meaning of loyalty.
