What a stupid article.

If you want to know the story of Yeo Thomas then read ‘White Rabbit’, the harrowing tale of his work in enemy occupied France organising the various resistance groups and escape lines, always under the threat of discovery or betrayal.
This man’s bravery was on a different level to most, and he was lucky to survive, as he was eventually caught, tortured and sent to a concentration camp to await execution by being hung on a meat hook, as were many of his close associates.

Here you have someone who truly deserves to be called, Hero.
