The Crash and Resistance: In 1941, Pape serves as a navigator on an RAF Stirling bomber tasked with a bombing mission targeting Hermann Göring’s headquarters in Berlin. After completing the mission, his plane is shot down. Though wounded, he evades immediate capture in the Netherlands, joining the Dutch underground resistance before eventually being caught by the Germans.
