Hi,

Thanks for all your replies. In fact I was interested to know how many escaped from the continent before the invasion at the 6th of June 1944. I assume that after the invasion it became relatively easy to reach the allied forces. Many civilians in occupied Europe risked there lives by helping these downed airman, I’ve read that is was for the crews always a relieve when the left German airspace, in case they crashed or bailed out in the occupied countries there was at least a change to get help from the resitance.

Regards,

Mathieu.
