Ep 57 – A Call to Spy – Women of the SOE in Focus
Virginia Hall had a wooden leg named Cuthbert, outwitted the Gestapo, and was so dangerous the Nazis called her “the most dangerous Allied agent.” Noor Inayat Khan wrote children’s stories, hated lying, and still outlasted most wireless operators in Paris.
