In Memoriam: Andree `Nadine’ Dumon (1922-2025)

We regret the death of our last officer IAA.

As a “guide” of the Belgian escape and evasion line Comète, she saved the lives of dozens of Allied airmen.

She has paid heavily for her efforts with 3 years in the concentration camps.

After the war until very recently, she remained active in the duty of remembrance.

This as a speaker at conferences, as an author, in TV programs. …

She will be sorely missed.

Robin Libert,

President RUSRA-KUIAD
