The white lady : the story of two key British secret service networks behind German lines

Fry, Helen, 1967-2025
Books, Manuscripts
A major new history of the two most important British secret service networks in the First and Second World Wars. Drawing on recently declassified information, Fry examines who the agents were, how they were recruited, and how the intelligence they gathered directly impacted the outcome of both wars. Operators in the field sent over 800 radio messages to London and delivered more than 1000 reports, including groundbreaking information on Hitler's secret weapon the V-1. This is a compelling account of the agents who risked their lives and found ingenious ways to smuggle intelligence out of occupied Belgium.
