At the time ‘the woman with a limp’ was regarded by the Gestapo as ‘the most dangerous of all Allied spies’. They circulated posters offering a reward for her capture, saying: ‘We must find and destroy her.’

In the final days of the German occupation of France her teams destroyed four bridges, derailed freight trains, wrecked telephone lines, killed more than 150 enemy soldiers and took more than 500 prisoners.
