This was the second Agent Rose to pass away this year, the first in March. Respect to all the members of SOE - all of whom were disgracefully kicked out of France at the first opportunity after Germany's capitulation by an embarrassed CDG, only gaining recognition and thanks years later.

How much?

Oh for Crumps sake. Why don't you people take the arguments elsewhere and quit stinking up a tribute thread to a brave woman?

One question I have concerns this quote:

why is it torture when the GESTAPO does this, but when American interrogators use a similar technique, i.e. waterboarding, it is not torture?

Because when we do it, it is called "enhanced interrogation". When they do it it is called torture.

When they do it to us, it is called a warcrime

The term hubris comes to mind

If you like this sort of history (and I do), check out Sisterhood of Spies by Elizabeth McIntosh.

If you made a movie about these ladies, no one would believe it.

These were some true heroes. Risking all and receiving little or no recognition.

Even today, there are OSS operatives whose names can not be released.
