 Most of the money came from the United Kingdom.One of de Greefs most important helpers was a Basque widow, Kattalin Aguirre, who along with her 14 year old daughter, Josephine ("Fifine"), provided a safe house for airmen after they got off the train in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and set them on their way toward the nearby border.The Euskalduna Hotel where Aguirre worked was a meeting place for smugglers and Comet Line helpers.
