The Princess Spy
BBC 2 Fri May 19 9:30 PM
50 min.
Documentary about Noor Inayat Khan, who in 1943 became the first woman wireless operator to be sent into war-torn France. It was the most dangerous job in SOE, Churchill's secret army, and she was not expected to survive long. The daughter of an Indian mystic and a writer of children's stories in pre-war Paris, she was a curious choice for a secret agent, but became London's vital link with Nazi-occupied Paris.
Betrayed, captured and tortured, Noor revealed nothing before she was executed.
