The Telegraph:
Count Robert de La Rochefoucauld, who has died aged 88, escaped from Occupied France to join the Special Operations Executive (SOE); parachuted back on sabotage missions, he twice faced execution, only to escape on both occasions, once dressed as a Nazi guard.
This guy was simply amazing. His story harkens to a time of romanticized war heroes - fearless men and women doing everything possible for their country.
