AKA:  The Vatican Pimpernel: The Wartime Exploits of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty


Audible Editor Reviews

The Vatican Pimpernel tells the story of Vatican Priest Hugh O'Flaherty's
courageous operation for safeguarding escaped POWs during the 1942-44
Nazi occupation of Italy. Risking assassination attempts and constant
harassment, O'Flaherty flitted through Rome in various disguises, establishing
POW safe houses under the very nose of the local SS. Seasoned actor
Brian Troxell captures the frenetic pace of war as the clergyman pursues
his task with relentless focus and devotion. Troxell imbues O'Flaherty
with the soft-spoken humility and selflessness listeners might well
expect of one in his profession, while nevertheless delivering a performance
rife with urgency and fast-paced action.

saved the lives of over 6,500 people.

Kappler, the Gestapo chief in Rome who ordered him killed, and who,
after the war, reconciled with the monsignor, and even asked him to
perform his baptism.

the Holy Office. His story was immortalized in the 1983 film The Scarlet
