Through a local network, he was brought to safety by resistance member Kees Stoove, who arranged medical care and temporary hiding places. Crook later continued his journey through the Netherlands, spending months evading capture.This extraordinary wartime story has been meticulously researched over fifteen years by amateur historian Leendert Smit. His work is based on extensive archival research, contact with surviving crew members, and correspondence with their families.
