March 10, 1944. Jean comes running back. He had been in hiding but fairly close to the road. A few Germans had driven past maybe to the site where the German pilot or his plane had come down.
Rumors are swirling that some French sympathetic to the Germans have turned in (and on) some neighbors helping some young men avoid being conscripted by the Germans for work camps.
The couple tells Jean to take me to the special hiding place farther into the woods and wait until his father comes to get us.
I so want to get back in a P-51 and strafe the enemy of these kind people and me.
Jean and I hurry but quietly farther into the woods.
