Frederick Joubert Duquesne (1877-1956)

In the Second Boer War, Frederick Joubert Duquesne was an officer and a Boer spy and he was known as “black panther”. On different occasions, he was a newspaper reporter, a novelist, a pimp, and a secret agent for Germany. He was the member of the largest Nazi spy ring that operated during World War II. He also carried out many sabotage missions in Great Britain, South Africa, the United States and Central and South America. He was captured many times but he often successfully escaped prisons. He even feigned paralysis for five months when he was about to be deported to England for execution. However, in 1941, Duquesne and other Nazi spies were arrested on charges of providing the information of U.S. shipping movements and weaponry to Germany. He did not escape this time and died when he was 78 years old.
