Leo Fischer was a member of the 'Oranje Vrijbuiters', a team of heavies who were active in Utrecht, including for eliminating collaborators and for stealing coupons. In August 1943, the Nazis wound up the team.

In February 1944, 20 team members were put on trial, 19 of which were given the death sentence. 18 of them were executed on 29 February 1944 on the Waalsdorpervlakte. The 47 year old Leo Fischer was among them.
