Watched "The Twelfth Man" on Netflix last night. It is a true story about a Norwegian

saboteur pursued buy Nazis in WWII. What that man went through and
what chances the Norwegian people took to save him was amazing. I liked it
maybe not everyone's cup of tea but I like true stories especially WWII stories.
It is a Norwegian movie so there are subtitles.

I read a summary about the movie, and it brought back memories of a book that I read long ago in 7th grade.

It was one of the many books that I summarized for my English teacher that year. She would then grab the books from the students (if she hadn't already read them herself) during those many one-on-one sessions, flip to some random pages, and ask us questions to help verify that we actually read them.

Anyway, I couldn't remember the name of that book until reading the movie review. It provided enough clues to identify the old book... "We Die Alone"

I liked that book! Thanks again!

Edit: I almost didn't get credit for reading that particular book because her verification questions were so hard, so that stood out in my memory too.

Great movie about the Norweigan spirit and dedication in opposition to Nazis.
