520 After World War I broke out, the port city of Rotterdam in
particular became a prolific breeding ground for secret
agents and spies. The neutrality of the Netherlands, its
geographical position in between the most powerful warring
nations, and its proximity to the Western Front meant that
British and German secret services both chose Holland as
their main base for spying operations on each other. On
neutral Dutch ground, newly established intelligence
services learned the spy trade. Spynest tells the story of
the secret agents involved, their Dutch hirelings, and the
spies they recruited and sacrificed between August 1914
and November 1918.
