in the Dutch World War II adventure novel trilogy Vliegers in het Vuur (1963) by the Dutch author Klaas Norel. The Englandspiel is mentioned implicitly in John le Carré's 1965 satirical spy novel The Looking Glass War. British spy and old hand Fred Leiser, who is to infiltrate East-Germany with an obsolete radioset in the Cold War, was one of the very few agents sent by the British who survived in The Netherlands during World War II. The 1977 Dutch movie Soldier of Orange (Dutch title: Soldaat van Oranje) by Paul Verhoeven was based on an autobiographical novel by Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema and dramatises the wartime history of the Englandspiel. A successful long-running musical Soldaat van Oranje was performed in the Netherlands since 2010 and treats the same subject matter. Englandspiel is the subject of the "Confusion Was Their Business" episode (1998) of the Secrets of WWII documentary series, and of the "Dead on Arrival" episode (2012) of the Secret War documentary series, which both aired on the Military Channel in the United States. Englandspiel is the historical inspiration for "Elise" (2015), the last episode in Season 8 of the historical television drama Foyle's War.
