Stories from WW2

I have read an amazing book about Vera Atkins its called "A Life in Secrets" by Sarah Helm

This woman was head of the french section of the British Special Operations Executive---she was head spook of the agency and was responsible for sending many men and women to occupied France so that they could arm and work with the french resistance

both illuminating and fascinating that this woman who was a refugee from Czechoslovakia managed to run this agency and was Churchills secret weapon in SOE

after the war ended she searched down the fate of 12 of her missing operatives none of whom lived

for this woman to be in this position at this time was so fascinating to me and her story is a barn burner you wont be dissapointed
