Take Men on Board! reconstructs the 1944 escape of five young Dutchmen from Nazi-occupied Holland across the North Sea to England. Their success depended not only on courage, but on months of preparation and a remarkable network of people who helped make the journey possible.

Borre Winckel spent nearly eighteen years piecing together the story from archives, interviews, family collections, photographs, wartime records, and original film. The result is a documentary reconstruction of the escape—and of what happened after the five men reached England and continued their fight against Nazi Germany.
