Downed Allied Airmen and Evasion of Capture: The Role of Local Resistance Networks in World War II

During World War II, the citizens of occupied countries played a large role in resistance operations. This volume deals with escape and evasion in the Netherlands, Belgium and France, in which the author himself was directly involved. Drawing on his own recollections as well as his later on-location research, the author traces specific lines of escape and evasion and their main participants. Appendices include lists of the airmen helped by the resistance movement.
