The double Dutchman : a story of wartime escape and intrigue
Description: 'The Double Dutchman is a unique war story, superbly told. It is not an orthodox excape yarn. It concerns the involvement and adventures of a New Zealand soldier, Roy Natusch, in an international plot which stemmed from the Big Three Conference at Teheran in November 1943, and which was aimed at manoeuvring Hungary from her German allegiance over to the Allied side. The failure of the plot, the reaction of the Gestapo, Germany's much feared terror police, Natusch's double escape from their hands, his further escape to the Yugoslav partisans and the later clash between guerrillas and a Wehrmacht force place this book in a class of its own. It is a true account, with neither the events nor the action exaggerated for literary effect.--Flyleaf.
