Three former members of the Belgian Resistance, honored with the George Medal, visit the RAF as guests. During WWII, they risked their lives to help RAF personnel escape from occupied Europe. Known by their codenames Dede, Tante Goh, and Michou, they facilitated the return of 800 Allied servicemen to Britain. Dede, the main inspiration behind the escape route, continued her efforts even after enduring concentration camps. The RAF acknowledges its unpayable debt to these courageous women.
