The most incredible and fascinating true WW2 story!
On Jim Crockatt’s Art for Art’s Sake programme this Thursday (January 8th at 7:00pm on Kennet Radio), he interviews Helen Fry about her book ‘MI9’.
When allied fighters were trapped behind enemy lines, one branch of military intelligence helped them to escape.
The organisation set up clandestine routes that zigzagged across occupied Europe enabling soldiers and airmen to make their way home.
Secret agents and resistance fighters risked their lives and their families to help, hide and guide our courageous men and woman who had been lucky enough to escape the clutches of Nazi evil.
Helen Fry tells a gripping account of the astonishing evasions, breakouts and the ingenious ‘pre-James Bond’ type gadgets designed by MI9’s very own ‘Q’ which aided escapes and repatriation.
The programme will also reveal a most surprising personal twist for Jim as he interviews the author!!
This programme is not to be missed!!!
