Reply to comment by VicVinegar88 in TIL about Virginia Hall, an American woman who worked as a secret agent in France during WWII by supporting, organizing, arming, and training the French Resistance. She was reportedly considered “the most dangerous of all Allied spies” by the Gestapo. “A Woman of No Importance” by Sonia Purnell. by mfgg40
