| Summary: | Follow explorer and former Royal Marine Monty Halls on the path of the Freedom Trails. Tens of thousands of men and women staked their lives following these little-known routes through unknown, enemy territory and out of Nazi occupied Europe. The Freedom Trails led to safety, but many were extremely perilous. To find and complete them required the help of local resistance fighters, who risked their own lives to save others. Monty retraces these extraordinary journeys, discovering what it took to escape and meeting the ordinary men and women who became heroes in the process. One of the toughest and most famous trails out of Nazi occupied France, through the valleys and passes of the Pyrenees mountain range and into Spain, this route was part of an escape network that began in Paris and was fraught with danger -- from German soldiers, the Vichy police, local informers and the mountains themselves. |
