This is the remarkable true story of a highly successful secret agent of the Special Operations Executive who lived with the daily threat of death at the hands of the Gestapo during World War 2. Her incredible courage and steel like resolve provide an awe-inspiring tale of one woman’s fight against evil and injustice. We recall her life from humble beginnings to becoming the Nazi’s most wanted female spy of the war. The Gestapo nicknamed her’ The White Mouse’ due to her amazing ability to escape their clutches. She became one of the most decorated Allied secret agents of the war. We explore her life, lived to the full, and salute her tremendous bravery. 45mins
