Description
The Postwoman by Michael Kenneth Smith In 1940, Belgium's surrender to Nazi Germany sparked outrage in one young nurse. Witnessing atrocities firsthand, she devised a plan with her father to aid the resistance effort against the Germans. Their strategy involved helping downed Royal Air Force fliers escape and return to England, where they could rejoin the fight. This gripping true story recounts the courageous actions of Andrée "Dedee" de Jongh, who managed to outwit the Nazis for a time. However, with German soldiers hunting her group at every turn, she faced an uncertain future. The Postwoman is based on the remarkable true events of WWII Resistance fighter Andrée De Jongh. Over eight hundred Allied fliers were saved through this secret organization, thanks in part to Dedee's bravery and determination. A gripping account of one woman's sacrifices in the face of great peril, The Postwoman is a testament to the power of courage and resistance.
