Car mechanic at Van Lent's car company. Roman Catholic. Member of the resistance. He was arrested on 29 May 1941 by Sipo and SD member H.K.O. Hausbrock after being betrayed by V-Mann and traitor Anton van der Waals. Van Lent was transferred to the prison in Scheveningen (Oranjehotel). He underwent two trials in The Hague. The first verdict in August 1941 was two years in a disciplinary prison for aiding the enemy. The second time, in November 1941, he was punished with ten years in a disciplinary prison. On 17 January 1942, he was transferred to a disciplinary prison in Rheinbach, Germany. He was then transferred to Lüttringhausen, where he was deliberately given insufficient or no medical treatment for malnutrition, bronchitis and pleurisy. In other words, they simply let him die. A street in Heemstede has been named after him.
