48: The Most Dangerous Woman In France

The Gestapo called her “the most dangerous of all Allied spies” and sent their cruelest officers to hunt her down. What they didn’t know was that their most-wanted agent was an American woman — running circles around them on a wooden leg. Rejected by her own government for being female, then for being an amputee, Virginia Hall went to work for the enemy of her enemy and became one of the most effective operatives of World War II. This is the story of the limping lady the Nazis could never catch.
In this episode:
- How a hunting accident and a wooden leg named “Cuthbert” ended her diplomatic dream before it started
- Becoming the first female SOE agent to live and work inside occupied France — building resistance networks from nothing
- The brutal wintertime escape over the Pyrenees on foot, and the radio message about “Cuthbert” that London completely misread
- Why she volunteered to go back in as the most hunted spy in France — disguised as an old peasant woman
- The Distinguished Service Cross she earned, the only civilian woman in WWII to receive it — and why she turned down a ceremony with the President
🎙️ Anonymous America is a production of Hey Dad Productions, hosted by Jerry Broadway.
