| Turkey
The Turks gave great assistance by turning a blind eye to MI9 efforts to pick up British and Commonwealth Evaders after the fall of Greece and Crete. Many hundreds passed through Turkey and rejoined the Middle East Forces.
There is a very interesting file at TNA that gives a list of such escapes and how they were achieved. From memory the first report is made by a Commando who's one line description was "swam to Turkey".
The File is AIR20/2330.
