WWII has amazing stories. On my father's side (he was Dutch, now naturalized US citizen) his uncle was in a Japanese POW camp while his wife was with the Dutch Nazis in Holland. She sent her oldest son to the Eastern Front where he died in Russia. At the end of the war she had all her hair cut off and was an outcast from the family. The uncle came back from Indonesia and found all his assets (house etc.) confiscated by the government because of his wife's exploits during the war. He sued the government and got all his assets returned.

My father and his brother were in the Dutch Underground. The GESTAPO was about to hang him, his brother and another uncle because of a hidden radio. Some how his brother talked the GESTAPO out of that action since VE Day was just a few days away. FYI, his brother escaped from a work camp somewhere close to Hannover. His job was collecting scrap from the German citizenry. He spoke German fluently. Because he was allowed some freedom at the railroad station, he made contact with a Dutch engineer who smuggled him back to Holland in the coal car. At his funeral about 10-20 fellow Dutch Underground survivors showed up....it was right out of To Catch a Thief.

Sounds right out of "Soldier of Orange."
