Great woman, I wish I had her guts!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I mean I wish you had her guts. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked the part about her killing the guard with her bare hands. I know I shouldn't, but I do.
My lass, now departed with a rich man, had a 'cousin' in France who aided the resistance. She would flirt with German soldiers and take info from them. Railway tracks would then be blown up and I think she may have used cheesewire on them, she certainly would if required!
ReplyDeleteNever trust a woman!
We don't hear enough of the stories of any of these women who did incredible things during the wars and it's almost too late.
