Really interesting piece on the life of Krystyna Skarbek who was a Polish born SOE agent during the second world war.
She worked as an agent in Poland, Hungary, Cairo & France. She was awarded the an OBE, a George Medal and many others for her work behind enemy lines. At the end of the war, a few weeks after Armistice day she was given a months pay and dismissed from the service, she was in Cairo, SOE didn’t even make arrangements to get her back to England.
