Dutch-Paris Line

Dutch-Paris Line

The following list of Allied airmen helped by the Dutch-Paris Line was compiled by historian Megan Koreman.  For more information on the line, see Megan Koreman’s book, The Escape Line: How the Ordinary Heroes of Dutch-Paris Resisted the Nazi Occupation of Western Europe.  See also her Dutch-Paris blog, “How to Flee the Gestapo” for more information on her research.   The link, “AFEES Index“, appearing after an airman’s name, is a notation that someone by that name, or a name very similar, appears in the Index to Evaders on this website.  There may be an article or obituary to the person in one of the newsletters in the AFEES newsletter archive on their website.  The AFEES index will identify which issue.

For further information on escape lines in The Netherlands, be sure to consult the book by Bob De Graaf, Stepping Stones to Freedom, Help to Allied Airmen in The Netherlands During World War II, Amsterdam: Geert van der Meulen, 2003.  (Originally published in Dutch as Schakels naar de vrijheid by SDU Publishers, The Hague, 1995.)  Stepping Stones to Freedom is available on this website.
