Yet during the Nazi occupation, these two friends find themselves unexpectedly plunged into the whirlwind of history. With the help of a French country priest and others, they set out to rescue British and French soldiers trapped behind enemy lines--some of whom they daringly smuggle through Nazi checkpoints hidden inside the trunk of their car. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ultimately the Gestapo captures them both. After eighteen months in prison, Etta is returned to the United States in a prisoner exchange.
