Secret Agent, Unsung Hero
To view a video version of the talk, click here.\xa0
Young Australian teacher Bruce Dowding arrived in Paris in 1938, planning only to improve his understanding of French language and culture. After the war broke out, Dowding helped exfiltrate hundreds of Allied servicemen from occupied France. He eventually paid the ultimate price and was beheaded by the Nazis just after his 29th birthday in 1943.
His story is told in the book\xa0Secret Agent, Unsung Hero,\xa0written by Bruce\u2019s nephew, prominent Australian lawyer and former Western Australian Premier Peter Dowding and historian Ken Spillman.
This podcast was recorded live at the\xa0Secret Agent, Unsung Hero book talk at the Shrine of Remembrance.\xa0
