Description

Brigadier John Hackett's extraordinary story begins with a life-changing injury at the Battle of Arnhem. After being badly wounded, he was spirited from his hospital bed by the Dutch Resistance and hidden in Nazi-occupied Holland for four months.

During this time, Hackett lived with a Dutch family just a stone's throw from a German military police billet, putting their lives at great risk. Eventually well enough to travel, he set out on an adventure that would lead him to freedom.

This remarkable true story is a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who risked everything during wartime. Hackett's account offers a unique glimpse into the experiences of Allied soldiers in Nazi-occupied Holland.
