27 July 1944,
Florentino Goikoetxea, border of the Comète Network, was released from Nazi hands by resistance members at the hospital in Baiona. The other day he was surprised by crossing the river Bidasoa and Gestapo wounded by machine guns. Given the possibility of obtaining information about the Comète Network under torture, a pickup truck hidden in the town hall of Anglet was camouflaged as an ambulance. Jules Artola and resistance members Antoine López entered the hospital saying they were from Gestapo, Raus! Raus!” they managed to get Goikoetxea out of the hospital and hide with threatening shouts in German.
