Evader Story
F/Sgt. Paul David Watson was the wireless operator / air gunner of Halifax NR251. On the return journey, after bombing Hannover, the bomber was attacked by a night fight. After a second attack only one engine remained, and the pilot therefore gave the order to bail out. Watson landed at an unknown place. Soon after he found a hiding place in the house/farm of Family Rensen at de Bathemerwerg in Haarle together with F/Sgt. R.H. Dickson (E0920).
