Unhinged History

Episode 129 | Ovaries Can’t Ride on Trains


Listen Later

We're back to exploring the gritty unhinged history of WWII spies this week as Theresa shares the story of the war's most decorated spy, Odette Samson. This French-born woman left her three young girls in Britain and joined the war effort, as a courier (the fatality rate of couriers was over 40%). During this mission, she fell in love, got tortured, sent to Ravensbruck, and survived without giving the Axis powers any intel.

This all-around badass is a name we should all know.

This episode pairs with:

WWII Spy: Nancy Wake

WWII Spy: Toto Koopman
