Paris Underground--A Post for Patsy


Patsy, this book, Paris Underground is the true story of Mrs. Etta Schiber, an American woman trapped in occupied Paris. She wrote this shortly after her escape and return to America. Mrs. Schiber was a widow who lived with a close friend, a British woman separated from her husband. These two ladies lived in a Paris apartment and were able to successfully hide and relocate British soldiers who had been trapped after Dunkirk.  A movie was made about Mrs. Schiber's story, but nothing compares to her account in written form. Her story reveals much about the mood of occcupied Paris.
