On Sep 13, 1944, a princess from India lay dead at Dachau concentration camp. She had been tortured by the Nazis and then shot in the head. Her name was Noor Inayat Khan.

The Germans knew her only as Nora Baker, a British spy who had gone into occupied France using the code name Madeline. She carried her transmitter from safe house to safe house with the Gestapo trailing her, providing communications for her Resistance unit.

Wireless operators in France had a life expectancy of six weeks. Noor was actively transmitting for over three times as long.

While she was in France, every other wireless operator in her network was slowly picked off until she was the last radio link between London and Paris. It was "the most dangerous and important post in France."

She was offered a way back to Britain and refused.

In fact, in her transmissions to London, she once said that she was having the time of her life, and thanked them for giving her the opportunity to do this.

She was captured by the Gestapo, but never gave up; she made three attempts at escape. One involved asking to take a bath, insisting on being allowed to close the door to preserve her modesty, and then clambering onto the roof of the Gestapo HQ in Paris.

Her last word before being shot was, "Liberté!"

@LauraEdwards86 @RobertLindsay Surely it does reduce the queue as the consultants are only at the private hospital set days a week and do their surgeries/consultations at the private hospital which takes the patients off of the NHS waiting list?

@CllrOddy @RobertLindsay Just out of curiosity how do you think private drains NHS resources?

@LawrenceNally51 @BBCNews Wasn't it a pagan country first, then catholic, then christian, then catholic, then christian, then open to all religions/faiths?

@TheRedTape45 @MaryMargOlohan @DailyCaller @Alyssa_Milano Because condoms are not foolproof and only work 99% of the time. Did we learn nothing from #friends? Also birth control doesn't work if you've been ill. Sorry I forgot that is absolutely her fault as well isn't it. Actually no it is definitely not. Her body her choice, end of.

@labmommy46 @kimmypills @PFthinks @MaryMargOlohan @Alyssa_Milano Who says my body was 'created' to protect another life. Its like saying I'm a 30-year-old woman and I 'should' be married with kids by now. Who has the right to decide that other than me?

@covfefe253 @LanceBrennan @MaryMargOlohan @davidmweissman @Alyssa_Milano And what about children/young adults who are now sueing their parents because they weren't given the choice to be born or not? They are deciding now that they want money nothing else. You can't let an embryo decide its fate that's just ludicrous. #mybodymychoice no one else's
