In the years and months before the liberation of Europe and D-Day, the female agents of SOE played an integral and highly dangerous role in undermining Nazi rule. Many paid the ultimate sacrifice, often alone and in horrific circumstances - including Noor Inayat Khan, 'The Spy Who Never Lied.' Join James Holland and Al Murray as they talk to SOE expert, Clare Mulley, on a thrilling series about the extraordinary women of SOE in an epic, but overlooked, part of WW2 history.
