Missionary Family Rescued in Submarine

(Filed under: History)

A Minnesota missionary family rescued from the Japanese-controlled Philippine islands in 1944 was part of a larger effort to secure lost Japanese war plans. The entire story is part of a documentary on the History Channel based on the book The Rescue.

The Lindholm family were Presbyterian missionaries in the Philippines and for two and a half years they and their four children lived in hiding in the mountains of the Philippines to avoid capture by the Japanese.
