Paperback. Condition: New. When Nazi Germany began bearing down on Europe in the late 1930s, Herman Bodson was a student intellectual and pacifist at the University of Brussels. As the reality of eventual invasion sank into his soul, however, his passion for freedom overcame his pacifism and with a group of friends he entered the resistance and five years of dangerous work as, in his words, ""a fighter and a killer"". With his background in chemistry, Bodson became an expert in explosives and sabotage, leading a group of fighters that blew up military trains and installations (including a bridge whose destruction killed some 600 German soldiers), cut German communication lines, and rescued downed American fliers. He also served as an aide to an American military doctor during the Battle of the Bulge. Bodson concludes his account of freedom fighting by telling of his role in bringing traitors to justice at war's end. This story of the Belgian underground provides insight into the intellectual and emotional responses that have led to the birth of such movement in many nations.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This volume deals specifically with escape and evasion in the Netherlands, Belgium and France, an operation in which the author himself was directly involved, and discusses the role which these lines of escape played in the lives of airmen who were forced to bail out over enemy territory. He describes the ever-present risks the often nameless patriots faced, such as the danger of exposure and the threat of traitorous infiltration. Specific lines are traced geographically and their main participants discussed. Special emphasis is placed on the role of women in this resistance operation. Throughout the book, the reader benefits not only from the author's own personal recollections but also from his later on-location research. The final chapter concludes with statistical information directly related to this little known aspect of World War II. Appendices include lists of the airmen helped by the resistance movement.…

From Wikipedia: "Herman Bodson (21 December 1912 Belgium-28 December 2001 Taos, United States) was a scientist, mineralogist and member of the Belgian resistance during the WWII. After the war he emigrated to the United States, where he published a book about his experiences. Herman Bodson was born on 21 December 1912. He gained a Doctor of Science in Physical Chemistry and was close to acquiring a master's degree in Mineralogy. When the Second World War broke out, Bodson was mobilized into the Belgian army Medical service. After the Belgian surrender in 1940, Bodson became involved in resistance work. He initially joined the resistance group known as OMBR, but later formed a new cell in the Ardennes. As an explosives expert, Bodson was involved in sabotage missions, including an attack on a German railway convoy in which 600 German soldiers were killed. He was also involved in sheltering airmen which had been shot down and is credited with saving the lives of 17 pilots. Very good in very good dust jacket. Very slight wear and soiling noted.
