A Day in Italy 1945

“A wonderful story set at the end of World War 2, when the Allies took back control of Rome. Maria tells the story of the notorious German leader Herbert Kappler, who tried to capture and kill the Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty whose organisation was hiding prisoners-of-war in safehouses all around Rome. Then Kappler asked the Monsignor to save his family from persecution.
A wonderful story of a priest whose saying was ‘God has No Country’.” David Sands, grandson of Henrietta Chevalier BEM, whose small apartment in Rome was used to hide dozens of prisoners-of-war from the Germans.
