"A hell of an adventure story." -- Ring Lardner Jr.
"A story of what is best in human beings triumphing over what is
worst." -- John Sayles
November 1943: American flyer George Watt parachutes out of his
burning warplane and lands in rural Nazi-occupied Belgium. Escape
from Hitler's Europe is the incredible story of his getaway -- how
brave villagers spirited him to Brussels to connect with the Comet
Line, a rescue arm of the Belgian resistance. This was a gravely
dangerous mission, especially for a Jewish soldier who had fought
against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Watt recounts dodging the
Gestapo, entering Paris via the underground, and finally, crossing
the treacherous Pyrenees into Spain. In 1985, he returned to
Belgium and discovered an astonishing postscript to his wartime
experiences.
