from Unhinged History · host twigliot
We're back to exploring the gritty unhinged history of WWII spies this week as Theresa shares the story of the war's most decorated spy, Odette Samson. This French-born woman left her three young girls in Britain and joined the war effort, as a courier (the fatality rate of couriers was over 40%). During this mission, she fell in love, got tortured, sent to Ravensbruck, and survived without giving the Axis powers any intel. This all-around badass is a name we should all know. This episode pairs with: WWII Spy: Nancy Wake WWII Spy: Toto Koopman
