Today, I am reading about Nancy Wake - who was, in her way, as fascinating as Noor Inayat Khan and Violet Szabo - but survived the war. And woke up in the middle of the night last night thinking that the reason MI6 kept on trying to shut the SOE down must have been because they had the ULTRA decrypts and knew exactly how deeply the circuits had been penetrated - The Netherlands completely blown and France with Gilbert feeding information to the Gestapo so that 26 agents were captured on landing, and most died in concentration camps afterwards. Havent got to that bit of the MI6 book yet, @Ed Weatherup, but am assuming thatll be in there when I do?) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Wake
