"First Printing" stated on back of title page; Signed by Author, (with month & year) on page before title page, which on its obverse has a presentation sticker "on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Voute Vereniging."For the 5 years of the German occupation of Holland, Drs Voute & Rynders were part of a quiet and unexpected insurrection of Dutch doctors against the Nazis. Banded together as Medisch Contact, an underground resistance organisation, these gallant professionals cared for their patients working in incredible conditions without adequate supplies, during air attacks, in overcrowded wards, in darkness, and once head-down in a tunnel -- while at the same time sabotaging the enemy in subtle & ingenious ways. Here are tales of tests cleverly manipulated to give false results, of prisoners spirited out of German hospitals, an audacious circumvention of the compulsory "Chamber of Doctors" set up by the Nazis. Henry Rynders, a surgeon, was also part of another Resistance group, the Army of the Interior, under the command of Prince Bernhard, and had daring. secret, highly dangerous adventures. Blue cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Map on eps. 188 pages, incl. preface & 18 b&w illus.
