When he blew the small troop train up two German officers were killed in the explosion. He never knew this. I found it out as recently as 2015 from local people. The Gestapo had originally suspected the train had been derailed by a local man who had been denounced. This wrong accusation allowed my father the time to get away from the explosion site.</p></blockquote><p></p>
