Someday, I really hope that the story of the Smuggling Monks is told.
It's
a very interesting by-product of that time and one that, fifty years
from
now, will become celebrated as important. I have no special knowledge
of
it other than somebody I know who knows somebody, etc, but that's going
to
be a fun read.

I've never heard anything about them. Hopefully, someone will write it
down before it's lost to history. What country are we talking about?
Poland?

And others - a lot of the Baltic States as well.

I've only heard the story through a friend who is tight with some
Special Ops/CID types and it's supposedly all true.

I'll email you something off list and relate a few of the tales.

Make it a double, if you don't mind.
