  • Summary

  • Daley Dispatches delves deep into the world of female secret agents in World War II. We will take a look at the training, missions, and personalities who served behind enemy lines primarily in occupied France. These women were part of a secret organization dreamed up by Sir Winston Churchill and their efforts shortened the war in favor of the Allies.  Hosted by Marjorie Daley, author of An Unorthodox War, this podcast brings to life some extraordinary women who were just doing their jobs to rid the world of fascism.  Thank you to JuliusH for the Lost Hero Epic Orchestra, available on Pixabay.
