DEFIANT COURAGE: A WWII Epic of Escape and Endurance

Tells the story of Jan Baalsrud, a Norwegian saboteur who was wounded by a German boat in 1943. Wounded, he swam icy fjords, climbed snowy peaks, endured violent snowstorms, and self-amputated some of his toes, all while trying to flee the Gestapo. Ultimately he relied on more than 60 people who risked their lives to help him to safety. Photos.
