Inside the Gestapo: A Young Woman's Secret War

Trip DuBard told the story of Helene, a young "Aryan looking" daughter of German Jewish refugees living in the Ixelles area of Brussels. The resistance movement recruited her to work inside the Gestapo secret police headquarters, 453 Avenue Louise, Brussels. She was able to copy the nightly "black" lists of Jews and resistance members targeted for arrest by the Gestapo. This information enabled many people to be warned and evade capture. She was in the Gestapo Headquarters building on the day it was attacked by a Belgian hero flying an RAF aircraft. She was also involved with several other daring resistance operations.
