Countess Andree De Jongh, who set up an escape route that helped hundreds of British airmen escape the Nazi occupation in Belgium during World War II, died Saturday in Belgium. She was 90. De Jongh, a female nurse in a men’s world of war resistance, helped found the Comet Line escape route while still in her 20s. After her arrest in 1943, she survived German camps before being liberated at the end of the war.
