IMAGE number
BL3292089
Image title
Albert Meyer was the penultimate spy executed at The Tower of London during World War One. Meyer claimed to be a Danish citizen, despite his Turkish birth. If it could be proven that Meyer was a Dane and not a Turk (England had by this time declared war on the Ottoman Empire), then he could not be considered as an enemy alien and so could not be subjected to a court-martial or the imposition of a sentence of death. The Danish embassy did not "recognize him as a Danish subject." No documentation could be found to prove that, beyond the inquiries made into Meyer's nationality, any serious reexamination of the evidence given in his court-martial was made. The execution date was rescheduled for the morning of 2 December 1915.
