Leonie Brandt (28 October 1901 – 27 January 1978), born as Gertrud Franziska Pütz and also known by the stage name Leonie Reiman, was a German-Dutch actress and double agent. Before and during World War II, she spied for both the Netherlands and Germany. She gained post-war notoriety due to Pieter Menten and the Stadtholder-letter. Many stories about her life are questionable, as she was often the sole source.[1]
