German Intelligence Couldn't Believe Their Greatest Enemy Was a Woman

In November 1941, the Gestapo believed they had crushed the French Resistance. They were wrong. After her commander was captured, Marie-Madeleine Fourcade took control of the Alliance Network — the largest and most effective intelligence organization in Nazi-occupied France. She was not a soldier. She was a mother. She had never fired a weapon. Yet under her command: • Over 3,000 intelligence reports reached Allied headquarters • 527 Allied airmen were smuggled out of France • Gestapo safe houses were mapped and exposed • Atlantic Wall defenses were photographed for invasion planning • German troop movements were tracked in real time The Gestapo hunted her relentlessly. They placed a bounty on her head. They captured her, tortured her, and still failed to break her. This is the true World War II story of Marie-Madeleine Fourcade — the only woman to command a major French resistance network throughout the entire war. Her intelligence saved Allied lives. Her leadership shortened the war. History nearly erased her.
