Pippa Latour was one of the last female special operations agents in France to get out alive after its liberation in WWII. Born in 1921, she became a covert special operations agent for the British Army and was parachuted into a field in Nazi-occupied Normandy.
Pippa was lauded for her fluency with languages and her coding ability – attributes she put to remarkable use when she posed as a teenage soap-seller, often selling her wares to the German soldiers and sending back information via code to England. Incredibly, she kept her service secret for 70 years. We talk to Jude Dobson about what motivated Pippa, her fears and the source of her courage.
