Guy Verstraete, code name Vlaminck, was a young officer in the Belgian Merchant Navy who escaped from French internment. He was taken by the submarine Saracen to Corsica in 1943 for MI6 accompanied by two Corsicans. Hidden for two months, in a small shepherd’s house he sent coded radio messages to MI6 in Algiers. But he was eventually caught and condemned to death. Verstraete was the only foreign agent shot by firing squad in Corsica, under the Italian occupation.
