In May 1944, 23-year-old Phyllis Latour jumped out of a US bomber and parachuted into occupied Normandy, France. Her mission was to gather information about Nazi positions in preparation for D-Day. Once on the ground, she quickly buried her parachute and clothes, and began a secret mission that would last four months, pretending to be a poor teenage French girl.
Phyllis had been trained by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She learned how to send secret messages in Morse code, how to fix wireless radios, and how to spy without being caught. She also went through tough physical training in the Scottish highlands. Phyllis wanted to get revenge on the Nazis who had killed her godfather.
Phyllis said, “The men who had been sent before me were caught and killed. I was chosen because I would be less suspicious.” She would ride a bicycle through the region, pretending to sell soap, and secretly pass messages to the British about German locations. She acted like a country girl chatting with German soldiers to avoid raising suspicion. She moved from place to place to stay hidden and often slept in forests finding her own food.
Phyllis also came up with a clever way to hide her secret codes. She wrote them on a piece of silk and pricked it with a pin each time she used a code. She kept it hidden inside a hair tie. Once when the Germans briefly detained her and searched her she took out the hair tie and let her hair fall, showing she had nothing to hide. In the summer of 1944, Phyllis sent 135 coded messages helping Allied bombers find German targets.
After the war, Phyllis married and moved to New Zealand. Her children didn’t know about her wartime service until 2000, when her oldest son found out online. This hero passed on October 7, 2023. May she rest In peace.
@ChrisMartin1961@actingliketommy All though their tweet is sociopathic I sense anger in yours as well probably rightly so. Technically you could grow veg in concrete but it would be difficult. Sand would be better. Animals also but very risky I mean just look at how violent humans are. City or countryside.
The US govnt does not serve the American people. This includes the military. There are no freedoms being fought for or protected. We're all prey in an extremely predatory society. The US military loots other countries for the same reason our govnt loots us: to enrich capitalists.
@Joe__Bassey@CleverMonsterCT If you educate both we get what we teach. Educate anyone right and we get that. Any problems we have is because of what we are teaching both male and female all colours all minds human and animal.
@welshroots@GeoffBrewer I understand that Brexit was a useful tool for lieing manipulative rich people but the eu doesn't address the problems. Now if they want to put the effort in to realising that there is no such thing as freedom and money is just a tool for control then yes I would be more inclined
Meanwhile the pub debrief by Ryan Bridge to the Raise the Colours team he claims to have been forced into the crowd and assaulted. This doesn't appear to match the evidence in the clip filmed by (checks notes), the Raise the Colours team.
@LizWebsterSBF@GeoffBrewer This isn't the problem. The people you mention yes but there is a bigger problem and that is the rich people working with Russia and Israel. It would seem all politicians are in on it at this point. People need to revolt and make sure they are going after the right people. 💰 🤑
@jeremycorbyn@pedroban5 We really need to start doing the right thing. Money is the root of all evil and while some are responsible with it there seems to be a few millionaires billionaires and even trillionaires that are hell bent on causing chaos and starting WW3.
