Audrey Hepburn Was A Hero
WWII RESISTANCE FIGHTER WHO HELPED DOWNED ALLIED PILOTS....AUDREY HEPBURN...
Most people know her as a film actress, but she worked with the resistance groups during the war to defeat the Nazis.
The 15-year-old Hepburn delivered a resistance newspaper. "I stuffed them in my woolen socks in my wooden shoes, got on my bike and delivered them," she said. Paper was in short supply, you see, so each edition was printed on paper smaller than a napkin.
Hepburn's age and ability to speak English made her uniquely qualified to avoid suspicion. So the 15-year-old future star could slip into an area of downed Allied pilots to pass messages and bear food packages. If she had been caught, though, it would have been disastrous.
