It was the greatest escape route in the Resistance Movement and in its three years of life it saved over 800 airmen and soldiers from captivity, returning them safe to Britain. Andree de Jongh, dubbed the 'Little Cyclone', was the young Belgian girl who created the route from Brussels to Bilbao. And there can have been few stories to match hers in terms of courage, inspiration and loyalty in the most appalling wartime conditions. The Germans invaded Belgium in May 1941. Following Dunkirk, many British soldiers were left behind and kept safe from detection by Belgian resistance fighters and sympathisers. Through visiting wounded soldiers Andree de Jongh made links with a network of safe-house keepers who were trying to work out ways to get the soldiers back to Britain."@en . "Electronic books"@en . . . . . . . "\" Andrée de Jongh was a young artist in Brussels when German troops marched into Belgium in May 1941. Her father dubbed her the 'Little Cyclone', because she was so determined to make things happen. Inspired by Edith Cavell, the British nurse shot dead by the Germans during the First World War, the 24-year-old de Jongh nursed wounded allied servicemen. She then set up the Comet Line to smuggle trapped soldiers and airmen through France and across the Pyrenees into Spain. When the first group never arrived, the Little Cyclone did the job herself: she turned up at the British consulate in Bilbao in August 1941 with two Scottish soldiers and insisted she could bring many more. MI6 was convinced she was a German spy. But the Little Cyclone got her way and the escape line she created saved the lives of more than 800 Allied servicemen. Such heroism came at an enormous cost. One hundred and fifty-six members of the Comet Line died, the majority of them in the Nazi concentration camps. The story of Little Cyclone is one of tragedy and triumph, a remarkably human and inspiring story that rivals the most dramatic of thrillers\"--Publisher's website."@en .
