Talking in Article
The Le Foulon's research paragraph contains the sentence "Although Lindell took care of the evacuation of three British airmen to Great Britain via Marseille and the Pyrenees, historians did not find any other rescues what about Hasler and Sparks?." The last five words clearly belong under this Talk page rather than in the article, but the criticism seems to be valid, if Lindell is mentioned in Sparks' book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brian Hardy 54 (talk • contribs) 16:40, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The above words were added by an anonymous user. I have deleted them from the article. Don't have access to Sparks' book to check the criticism. Kattiel (talk) 12:47, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

NPOV
The lead section mentions "to others she was a double agent" which is misleading since the allegations - described in section titled "Le Foulon's research" - are based only on one, non-academic, book by a journalist. Thus, IMO the article does not present a NPOV and certainly needs reliable (academic) references in relation to the allegations made. Coolmoon (talk) 10:51, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Lindell a "German Agent?"
I don't have access to Le Foulon's book, but in the interview, Le Foulon calls Lindell a "false heroine" not a German agent. There's a vast difference between being a "false heroine" and a "German agent." You'll need a lot more evidence to apply the term "German Agent" to Lindell. Most of the sources about Lindell are favorable. She seems to have been an unlikable person, but resourceful. That she formed a good relationship with a German doctor at a concentration camp and defended him at his trial isn't proof she was a German agent. Just that she looked favorably on one German and was outspoken enough to say that. Possibly the "Stockholm Syndrome" -- or possibly her friend, the German doctor, was not 100 percent evil.Smallchief (talk)
