137. Operation Pimento: My Great Grandfather’s Escape
Henge
A secret wartime mission, a plane shot from the sky, and an extraordinary fight for survival. Adam Hart brings to life the remarkable story of his great-grandfather, the only person to survive a doomed Special Operations Executive operation over occupied France codenamed Operation Pimento. Badly injured and alone, he embarked on a daring 1,200-mile escape across wartime Europe, guided by courage, chance, and the bravery of ordinary people who risked everything to help him. Decades later, Hart retraced that journey, uncovering powerful stories of resistance, sacrifice, and human connection along the way. Blending history with personal discovery, this is a moving and often astonishing exploration of what it means to survive, to remember and to honour those who defied fear in the darkest of times.
