| Zusammenfassung: | Narrow Escapes! covers the period of Miloslav Bitton’s life from 1919 to 1949. The book begins with family life on the farm in the Ukraine where he was born on 14th October 1919, and later in Czechoslovakia where the family lived from 1926. At age 14 Miloslav began an apprenticeship - and later employment - in the grocery business in Bratislava, and in 1938 committed to four years’ study at the Commercial Academy in Bratislava to improve his prospects. By the end of his first year at college, however, Slovakia had become a puppet state of Germany and World War II had begun. In September 1939 Miloslav was approached to organise a clandestine escape route into Hungary for Czech military personnel trying to get to France via Yugoslavia; in the evenings after college he would accompany parties of up to 8 people - by train and on foot - to within 400 metres of the Hungarian border where he instructed them where to cross and how to purchase train tickets for Budapest. By January 1940, however, Miloslav’s illegal underground activities had come to the attention of the border guards and on 19th February he had to make his own escape. Following his safe arrival in Budapest, Miloslav continued his activities helping escapees reach Yugoslavia until arrested by the Hungarian Secret Police. Although severely beaten he gave nothing away, and in April was returned to Slovakia. Undaunted Miloslav journeyed again to Budapest and this time managed to reach Yugoslavia. His onward journey took him through Greece, Turkey and Syria to Beirut. By this time, however, France had capitulated and the Lebanese border was closing. Miloslav found his way into Palestine where he saw action in the Middle East with the Czechoslovak Infantry Battalion No. 11 - East and the 200th Czechoslovak Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment - East [...]. |
