When Paris fell to the Nazis in June 1940, a handful of brave men and women refused to accept defeat and volunteered to become soldiers in a new, secret war. Running undercover networks across the city, the agents of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) fanned the flames of resistance and fought to liberate the capital from tyranny. This course will explore the stories of fascinating women such as ‘spy princess’ Noor Inayat Khan, Vera Leigh and Odette Sansom, and the fates of SOE’s other agents sent to “set Europe ablaze”. A lecture will be followed by a guided tour of the locations featured.
