Harold Cole
Harold Cole (24 January 1906 – 8 January 1946), also known as Harry Cole and Paul Cole (and many other aliases) was a British petty criminal, confidence man, British Army soldier, operative of the Pat O'Leary escape line, and an agent of Nazi Germany. In 1940 and 1941, he helped many British soldiers escape France after its surrender to Nazi Germany in World War II. He became a double agent for the Germans in December 1941 (or possibly earlier) and betrayed 150 escape line workers and members of the French Resistance to the Gestapo, of whom about 50 were executed or died in German concentration camps.
