As my book, ‘The Nazi Ghost Train’, is now out in the US and Canada, I’d love to celebrate some of those involved.

I’m starting today with this man, Alfred Sanders, a B-24 Liberator pilot.

Al was originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but I believe he may have later lived in Oxford Street North, Saint Paul, Minnesota.

If you know anyone from those communities who may have known Al I’d love to hear from them. Al’s son, Mike, was born just after his father was shot down.

Al broke his ankle after parachuting from his aircraft. He survived a German checkpoint while hiding in a hay wagon and lay in a hole under floorboards when Nazi soldiers raided the farm in which he was sheltering. He was eventually betrayed by the traitor Prosper Dezitter.

Thank you for your service, Al.
