Plummeting into enemy occupied territory in the blackness of night, the shock of landing, betrayal, the rattle of machine guns and crash of mortars. Such was the reception given to Serge Vaculik and his fellow parachutists. After being tortured by the Gestapo he and six survivors faced a firing squad, but by a miracle Vaculik and one companion escaped to the friendly Maquis. But this experience was prefaced by something fully as exciting and dangerous, Vaculik's escape after Dunkirk and his flight to England across France and Spain. Here is a true story of courage and adventure second to none! Parachutist / commando with de Gaulle's Free French Forces. Battles and escapes from Gestapo in France. World War 2.
