What to expect
special operation agents in France to get out alive
after its liberation in WWII.
Born in 1921, Pippa Latour was a covert special
operations agent who parachuted into a field in Nazioccupied Normandy.
Trained by the British as a Special Operations
Executive, Pippa was lauded for her fluency with
languages and her coding ability — both attributes
she put to remarkable use as she posed as a
teenage soap seller, often selling soap to the
German soldiers, and sending back information via
code to the UK.
Incredibly brave — Pippa knew she would be
instantly shot if her cover was blown — she
concealed her codes in pieces of silk that she
threaded through a flat shoelace and wore as a hair
tie. She bicycled around the region, often sleeping
rough and foraging for food.
During her time in Normandy, Pippa sent 135 secret
messages conveying crucial information on German
troop positions in the lead-up to D-Day. Pippa
continued her mission until France's liberation in
August 1944.
For decades, Pippa told no one — not even her
family — of her incredible feats during WWII.
Now, for the first time, her story can be told in full.
