White Buses

White Buses was a humanitarian effort headed by the Swedish count Folke Bernadotte that by the end of the second world war saved thousands of Norwegian and Danish resistance fighters from German concentration camps. The name comes from the buses that were used, and that were painted white, with a red cross on the sides and on their roof.
