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.
