From Wikipedia: "Herman Bodson (21 December 1912 Belgium-28 December 2001 Taos, United States) was a scientist, mineralogist and member of the Belgian resistance during the WWII. After the war he emigrated to the United States, where he published a book about his experiences. Herman Bodson was born on 21 December 1912. He gained a Doctor of Science in Physical Chemistry and was close to acquiring a master's degree in Mineralogy. When the Second World War broke out, Bodson was mobilized into the Belgian army Medical service. After the Belgian surrender in 1940, Bodson became involved in resistance work. He initially joined the resistance group known as OMBR, but later formed a new cell in the Ardennes. As an explosives expert, Bodson was involved in sabotage missions, including an attack on a German railway convoy in which 600 German soldiers were killed. He was also involved in sheltering airmen which had been shot down and is credited with saving the lives of 17 pilots.
