This paper examines the role of Czechoslovak Intelligence Officer Alois Frank (1897–1974) in the neutral Netherlands during the period of 1939–1940. Frank was a member of the Czechoslovak Intelligence Service, specifically the group led by Colonel František Moravec. In the Netherlands, Frank collaborated with agents and confidants who had previously worked with Czechoslovak intelligence from 1936 to 1939 at the Advanced Intelligence Centre “Libuše”. Additionally, he established new collaborations with Czechoslovak compatriots Karel Jelínek (1891–1943) and Eliška Hájková (1891–1943), both of whom were later executed by the Nazis. The research draws primarily on Czech, Dutch, and German sources housed in the Security Services Archive (Prague), the Military Central Archive – Military Historical Archive in Prague, the National Archives (Den Haag, London-Kew, Prague), and the Federal Archives (Berlin, Bern).

Keywords: Alois Frank (1897–1974), Netherlands (1939–1940), Second World War, Czechoslovak Military Intelligence Service
