520    In 1940, Andree "Dedee" de Jongh, a twenty-four-year-old 
       Belgian nurse, is horrified by her country's quick 
       surrender to Nazi Germany. Every week she observes Germans
       inspecting the infirmary for injured Allied soldiers to 
       ship off to work camps. Every day she witnesses new 
       atrocities in the streets, such as Jewish countrymen being
       brutally beaten. Outraged at the injustice, Dedee devises 
       a strategy with her father to aid in the resistance effort
       against the Germans. They hatch a plan to help downed 
       Royal Air Force fliers escape Belgium and France and 
       return to England, where they can rejoin the fight. It's a
       dangerous endeavor and guaranteed death sentence if 
       they're caught, but Dedee is determined to do her part to 
       defeat the enemy. Over time, the secret organization 
       becomes one of the most successful wartime escape lines, 
       saving more than eight hundred Allied fliers. Dedee 
       manages to outwit the Nazis for a time, but with German 
       soldiers hunting for the group and its leaders at every 
       turn, will she be able to escape with her life? Based on 
       true events, The Postwoman recounts the gripping story of 
       one woman's courageous actions and sacrifices in the face 
       of great peril.
