Inhalt:

In World War II, the French Resistance played a vital role in the Allied victory. Supported by Britain's Special Operations Executive, Resistance networks were formed, led and equipped by SOE agents. The Auduc family provided essential support to the network formed around Le Mans, France, by an American OSS agent and a French SOE agent. The Auduc's oldest son, Jean-Jacques, became the youngest Resistance fighter to be awarded the Croix de Guerre. He was also awarded the U. S. Medal of Freedom and the French Legion of Honor for heroism as a 12 year old. The downing of two B-17's on July 4, 1943, brought the Auduc's face to face with the five surviving U. S. airmen. The airmen were first sheltered and then repatriated to England. The Auduc family and their fellows teach us how much people will sacrifice to gain freedom from an oppressor. American, British, Canadian and French worked in cloaked secrecy and harmony to rid the world of the greatest evil in recorded history.
