When the war is over [electronic resource] / Martha Attema.

Summary:

When the War Is Over focuses on the human side of World War II. Reacting to the German occupation of her small Frisian town and despite her mother's objections, sixteen-year-old Janke Visser decides to follow the example of her father and brother and join the resistance, where she becomes a bicycle courier. As her job expands from transporting letters and papers to guiding and hiding war refugees, Janke finds herself in increasing danger of discovery. Meanwhile, her task is also complicated by a growing romantic attachment to a young German soldier named Helmut. Ultimately, Helmut's disillusion over German militarism unites the pair, who plan their escape to Canada.
