  This woman was amazing!! She could hunt, speak four languages, and organize a way to give nazis the clap………all with one leg. I am so glad she was on our side.

  She basically wrote the book on how to not tell on yourself. Nothing she did was for herself. She loved and believed in humanity. Like a paladin cosplaying as a rogue. My kind of woman.

  I&apos;m not sure if I&apos;ve commented this already, but I find mind-blowing is that Virgina Hall and Nancy Wake (another famous WW2 spy) are literally in the same place at the same time doing the same thing. They both witnessed fascism as journalists, both became ambulance drivers, both trained with the British SOE (at different times), both avoided the Marseille Mousetrap, both fled France via the Freedom Trail, and both helped organize guerrila fighters during and after D-Day. Nancy (and her husband to a lesser extent) were part of the spy network Virgina set up, and Nancy would eventually join the guerrila fighters in the field hunting Nazi commanders. Makes me wonder if these two ever cross paths (not that they&apos;d ever tell anyone).<br><br>I agree that it&apos;s sad more people know about the Kardashians than these two😑

  Unlike the Nazis she had a leg to stand on.

  The best type of spy is the person that nobody who would believe could even possibly be a spy. &nbsp;Imagine trying to convince a superior that a one legged woman is a trained spy.

  Hey, um, thanks for making this. I&apos;m a disabled woman, and this was really inspiring to me. I&apos;ve felt so hopeless. So, for man to shine a light on this means a lot. So many people don&apos;t care, but you did enough to make this wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing her story with the world when the time was appropriate to do so. I hope this means that more people will see her story, and will be similarly inspired to do good in the world.

  This is a prime example of &quot;you cant make this up.&quot; Imagine being Heinrich Müller, chief of the Gestapo, which was feared in all of Nazi-occupied Europe for seemingly seeing, hearing, and knowing all and catching just about anyone they wanted just looking at the wanted poster for this lady for 5 years and still never catching her. The feeling of shame knowing you got outplayed throughout the biggest war in history, start to finish, by a women you know has a wooden leg, knows what she looks like, and was deep behind enemy territory pretty much the whole time and still failing to catch her.
