What motivated you to work for the Underground? Was it merely the fact that the Nazis had invaded your country, or did their atrocities (such as their slave labor and the Holocaust) play a role in that? Or did you think much of those ideological motivations at all?

Also, much more trivially, I read a historical fiction book which mentioned that the Dutch Home Army officially had a blue uniform which (of course) they didn't wear openly until the war was over. Was that at all correct?

I mean, what motivated you to keep working for the resistance after you learned what Hank was doing? Was it just to help your brother, or did you have some other ideological reason?

(And thanks for explaining the blue uniform; that detail's been nagging at me ever since I read that book!)

After he'd already reached his goal. And he says he could have kept it up in Raleigh if he wanted to, but he didn't care to, since the experiment was finished.

Wow, I'm sorry. I suppose there wouldn't have been any way to tip off your mom in advance without jeopardizing the whole thing?
