During the critical summer months of 1943, Noor Inayat Khan was the
only wireless operator transmitting secret messages from
Nazi-occupied France to the Special Operations Executive in
Britain. As the daughter of an Indian mystic, brought up in a
household devoted to peaceful reflection on the outskirts of Paris,
Khan did not seem destined for wartime heroism. Yet, faced with the
evils of Nazism, she volunteered to help the British; was trained
in espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance; and returned to France
with a new identity. Khan transmitted details crucial to the
Allies' success on D-Day, until she was captured and imprisoned by
the Gestapo. She attempted two escapes before being sent to
Germany. Three months after the Allied invasion of France, she was
executed at Dachau. Her last word was "liberte".
