Jo Davidsmeyer writes: Just got an email from the author of this non-fiction book. Sounds like a fascinating first-person account of a teenage resistance fighter during World War II. I haven't had a chance to read it, but wanted to pass on the info to my fellow Combat! fans.

From the Author: Just one year older than Nazi death camp victim Anne Frank, Agnes Daluge (born Agnesa Lackovic) came to Germany in 1939 in such ill health that physicians predicted she would soon die. Having suffered several life-threatening illnesses and infections, due to her impoverished living conditions in her native Slovakia, Agnes took refuge in the home of her affluent paternal aunt, Rosa Schneider. There the severely undernourished Agnes was given the hardy diet and medical care she needed to regain her health and start compensating for years of slowed growth. But her new-found sense of well-being didn't last long, as she found herself swept up in her aunt's secret life -- the dangerous activities of the Munich underground forces! In just three years, the undersized, but highly intelligent girl was compelled by her aunt to learn four languages -- a capability that would aid Agnes in saving HUNDREDS of lives during World War II. Her valiant efforts and ingenuity in coming to the rescue of scores of downed Allied airmen and captured soldiers, ultimately earned her American citizenship after the war; and she has resided in the U.S. since 1948 - a war heroine and national treasure who waited 50 years to tell her miraculous story of unflagging courage in the face of torture and death!
