Author Notes: Perhaps the bravest of them all, Noor Inayat Khan was the first female radio operator sent to France by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). A descendant of Indian royalty, she set aside her Sufi pacifist beliefs to volunteer in the fight against Nazi occupation. Noor provided invaluable support to both the British and the French Resistance before being captured by the Gestapo. Despite brutal interrogations, she refused to betray her comrades. Classified under the “Nacht und Nebel” (“Night and Fog”) directive—designed to make prisoners disappear without a trace—she was eventually transported to Dachau Concentration Camp, where she was executed.
