A World War II era memoir fragment recounts Lt. Pat O'Brien evading German troops in Belgium. He describes crossing rural and urban terrain, dodging guards, and improvising tactics to obtain a passport while seeking safety and freedom.
The narrator recalls Huyliger helping him escape from a conquered city. A forged passport is prepared by filling in a genuine document, aided by a rubber stamp and a camera to imitate authenticity. They await the right moment to move, planning to hide in a convent and pose as a priest or Spanish suitor to cross the frontier.
