The Tartan Pimpernel is the remarkable autobiography of Donald
Caskie, minister of the Scots Kirk in Paris at the time of the
German invasion of France in 1940. Although he had several
opportunities to flee, Caskie remained there to help establish a
network of safe houses and escape routes for Allied soldiers and
airmen trapped in occupied territory. The seamen's mission he set
up in Marseilles was in fact the largest clearing-house in France
for stranded British soldiers and airmen. This was dangerous work,
but, despite the constant threat of capture and execution, Caskie
showed enormous resourcefulness and courage as he aided thousands
of servicemen to freedom.
