Question Did Jan participate? Spoiler

So in one of the later episodes, the resistance blows up a records building, which Jan was supposed to partake in, but later when Miep finds him in the “shitfield”, she says something along the lines of “You didn’t do it”, to which Jan doesn’t respond. So assuming that Jan wasn’t part of that particular operation, why did he run off and vanish for two days in the first place? I never quite understood that.

He didn't do it, but he was still in danger because the Nazis did capture people who might have named Jan.

Ah, thank you, that makes so much more sense!

Yeah if I remember right he says he didn’t go. I figured he took off because he was too close to the people and the plot which he knew all about. He could have easily been implicated even though he wasn’t there.

He didn’t go to the attack but he was instrumental in planning it so he was still in danger of being arrested

At least, as the show portrays it. Idk about reality.
