The Possum Escape Line

Website dedicated to Possum. The principal objectives for his operation was to organise the recovery of evading RAF personnel in the Belgian Ardennes, organise landing sites in the north of France, organise escape lines from the Belgian Ardennes to these landing sites, organise shelter for the evaders, where they can wait to be airlifted or where they will be able to stay safely for several days with provisions, clothes, etc. Despite a very short life, Possum gave help to 60-70 airmen. Unfortunately, the Germans succeeded in destroying the line, and most members were deported to Germany.
