The Limping Lady: Virginia Hall, WWII’s Most Wanted Spy 1906–1982

from Obscure Lives Podcast

In the heart of occupied France, the Gestapo issued a chilling wanted poster for an American woman they called “the most dangerous of all”—a spy who walked with a limp. Virginia Hall overcame a wooden leg, relentless sexism, and the most sophisticated counter-intelligence network in Europe to become one of the most effective Allied agents of World War II. Her story is one of courage, ingenuity, and a lifetime spent in the shadows.
