In addition to stories about Barbara & Jane, you can read about the lives of many of our fallen officers by searching CIA’s “Feature Stories” (https://t.co/ASfIgAnZLu).

Virginia was determined to return to France, but SOE refused. Lyon’s Gestapo chief, Klaus Barbie, who never knew Virginia’s true name or nationality, had caught wind of her activities & put a bounty on her. She was sent back to London instead. #WomensHistoryMonth https://t.co/HaS08eVDda — PolitiTweet.org
