" Irrevelant to the outcome of the military operation"?! It is said, according to history books, Lindemans' betray costed the death of 7500 british soldiers in the Operation Market-Garden and prolonged the European war for 8 month, even caused indirectly the death of 200,000 Dutchmen due to dam breach in the prolonged war. ——Nutcracker胡桃夹子 ^.^tell me... 08:42, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Oreste Pinto writes that Lindemans' knowledge was that the attack was to happen somewhere north of Eindhoven and carried out initially by Airborne troops. That led directly to the Nazis moving their armor under cover of darkness to positions overlooking likely targets. I'll edit the article and reference accordingly.

Hard to believe that Lindemans himself was responsible for debacle of Market-Garden. This poorly planed bumbling operation was destined to fail regardless to Linedmans disclosures. Second paragraph is just unsourced speculation. --RomanM82 (talk) 12:57, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editorializing[edit]

Is this line - "(h)is love for women and gambling was limitless, he didn't know the meaning of fear; unfortunately neither did he know the meaning of loyalty.[2]" - really appropriate? It sounds like editorializing and elsewhere the article states that he turned sides to save his brother and his fiancee, the mother of his child. Seaoneil (talk) 20:33, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar and Speeling[edit]

This is only one example "pass was forged, Kooy had him locked him up in a coal cellar near the police station ." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.136.144.155 (talk) 08:04, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The grammar is still faulty.Kdammers (talk) 04:43, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A disgrace[edit]

Is what this article is. It's so full of gossip, speculation, pseudohistory and biased politics, that it should be scrapped and written again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wintceas (talk • contribs) 21:41, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

possible insider source[edit]

There is a book calledItaliSpycatcherc text written by a Dutchman, who worked as the head of Dutch Counter-Intelligence Mission attached to the British organization. The author says that he was the one who got Verloop to confess and that he had sent an ignored message to have Lindemans under close watch. ( I don' know the author's name since my copy is a Russian English-learning book with no copyright information. )Kdammers (talk) 04:57, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
