The Crazy True Story of Churchill’s Greatest Spy

Meet Krystyna Skarbek also known as Christine Granville—a Polish WWII spy, legendary SOE agent, and one of the most courageous women to ever enter the world of espionage.

From smuggling intelligence across snowy mountain passes to persuading Nazi officers to free captured agents, her missions were so extraordinary that she was later said to be the inspiration for several James Bond characters.

This HerStory episode explores:
• Her early life and unlikely path into espionage
• Her most daring wartime operations
• How she repeatedly outsmarted the Gestapo
• The tragic way her life ended—and the legacy she left behind

If you love hidden history, women warriors, or real-life spy stories, this is one you won’t forget.
