Thankyou for highlighting the role these women played in history. 👍
Being ex-military myself I knew these woman existed, however you never heard them mentioned in the news reels or war films. Most of the time whenever woman were talked about in general they were always factory workers. There was a manpower shortage, so womanpower came to the rescue. God bless them all for there service! I just wish that they would have had more recognition, they truly deserve to be mentioned... much more than from whispers, for serving their country! Why isn't this on cable TV? I have lived on both coasts.... this is my first time seeing this.
A great comment from you .I seen films about these ladies who bravely risked there lifes for to there country .I have dvds on Churchill secret army .But these films on U TUBE are fantastic .👍
My grandfather, George Grimm made certain all his sons,and boyfriends if his daughters were busy in the war. His daughters were busy helping their boyfriends worked in the war effort in the cities of the war in Pearl harbor and in the japanese Islands, my father,flew planes and I have been told he flew 49 missions. He was granted time to visit and meet me and my mother Dotty Grimm Turner.
Thank you! What an awesome docu! Hats off to these women!
Nancy Wake and Violette Szabo are my all time favorites. Nancy is the stuff of legends, and they were absolutely phenomenal. Why a movie hasn't been made about Nancy is a Hollywood crime.
I agree. At least now there is a movie documentary about Nancy Wake.
There was a telemovie loosely based on Nancy - The White Mouse 2014 and a video documentary of Nancy, in 1987
I once passed her in the street and nodded - too shy to speak. She was a strong personality.
Violette Szabo's story is so terribly moving. I did swap emails with her daughter, a few times, but Christine Granville... Krystyna Skarbek... She MUST be in the top 5 at least! Absolutely phenomenal woman, and such a horrible waste of pointless death, post war! It seems so wrong, I feel it should be able to be challenged somewhere, somehow, to right the wrong and how could you leave out Virginia Hall? To be a spy with a wooden leg!
Both Hall and Skarbek were treated shabbily, post war.
But these 2 can face off Nancy as equals. They were all such extraordinary women
Well Done! Thanks for that! So much we’ll never know, to appreciate those who made the world a safer place.
A hand tinted picture of a beautiful young women sat in pride of place in the home of my boyfriend's landlady. I was 18, looked at it and said to her OSS? France ? It was 1965, she started, and tearful eyes told me I was correct. She asked how I knew, in a whisper, and another friend said I dont know what that is, but she's psychic and we just live with it and laughed. I put my hand on her arm and thanked them for their sacrifice and hers. I will never forget that picture or the moment. I saw what happened to her in my mind's eye in a split second.
My Canadian step aunt worked on a US millitary installation with dual citizenship until she retired, always very coy about her past experience and how she managed to get where she was.
Classic style for the Canadian girls of that era's traumatized world just like these women, I'd be surprised if there's isn't more than one gal named Margaret from Canada on the list of Canadian female heros. She was a blessing, just as these women were, thankyou so much for your service, all of you.
ps: Margaret was an avid dancer who kept my uncle on his feet for many years.
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I Think All of these People are Just Wonderful.
You must credit the Brits with their ingenuity and creativity. Their ability confuse and confound the nazis without doubt contributed to the allied victory in Europe. Thank you for your service, ladies.
These women were and are special. There was only a split second mention of Camp-X . Most of those individuals who trained there and survived the war wouldn't talk about it. I became interested in Camp-X when my mother told me of her Uncle Sandy who was a member of the OSS and trained there before being dropped behind enemy lines in Europe during the war. We would visit Uncle Sandy and his wife in St.Petersburg, Florida often when we lived in Tampa. He never spoke of his WW2 service ever, but he must've been pretty good at it, as he was able to extricate himself from enemy territory repeatedly according to my mom.
William Gunnerisson A fantastic comment one your brave uncle .My uncle was fighting in Normandy .He came home ok to his family .It's a pity your uncle did not write book about his wartime secret service .We have lot to thank Y TUBE for there films
They made a show of camp-x
WOW ! What a documentary I never knew these ladies existed .Where would we be without these unsung hero`s . Thank you ladies for all you did ,even if it is years ago you saved so many lives my respect to all of you.
Thanks so much for your service!
I have never heard much about the roles of Canadian women, in WWII. We all owe them a huge debt of gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy. Without our Greatest Generation, our world would look completely different today. 🇺🇲❤🇬🇧🙏🏻🇨🇦
I'd like to see churchill s reaction to the desecration of his statue and London becoming British minority and the cultural Marxism.
This is a VERY interesting story about some VERY interesting women way back when!!!
Better yet, it ended with some VERY beautiful music in the Glenn Miller style even if he wasn't there to hear it himself.
Thank you lady's! your contribution was no less important to the war effort than the men's.
This was really good. Very interesting and well produced. I would recommend.
Thank you ladies!
Hats off to the ladies of Intrepid.
Thank you, Ladies, for everything you did to help us win the war.
Those cameras , suitcases radios etc all came from the famed Churchill Toyshop, but what this organisation did is just as important as Bletchley Park in my view.
This was a whole new perspective to World War II. You really only hear about the women who worked in the factories. Thank you for sharing.
I also wish to thank those who made this documentary. What a wonderful and loving tribute! 💕
Thank you for this documentary.
Nancy Wake is my all time favorite. # 1 on the Gestapo's Most Wanted list and a 5 million franc reward for her, she commanded the best of the men in the Maquis providing Allies with valuable information for D Day and effective sabotage with beauty, cunning, and consummate skill and lived to age 98 !!
Nancy Wake was born in Wellington, New Zealand and grew up in Australia, I think. She was called the white mouse. Amazing woman. To say she didn’t like Germans much is an understatement!
Thank you for bringing us the stories of these Intrepid Women. God bless each one of the hundreds who took part.
Coool! Love history especially ww2 era.
And now i recently got into kings andnqueens of england/uk in the middle ages and late 1800s 😃👍
A really interesting documentary about the women without whom the war would not have been won.
That was cool to learn about!... wonder if the Germen's had something working here because from other vids capture POW's were told private things which blew me away
The nazis have something working here now. Sent to the US after the war for our NASA programs, medical science, weapons engineering, etc. Their ideals never died... they just were hidden out of sight only to slowly and subtly reemerge through policy and patents
Stephenson. Stevenson was the name of the author that wrote a glowing biography of Stephenson.
If memory serves.
A Man Called Intrepid. Excellent book
The first Bond girls! Thanks so much for your service!!
both of my parents were involved during the 2nd world. Both said it was the scariest time and the most exciting.
Yes indeed!
😯
In what way were they involved Julie?
History repeats itself
They have such soothing voices ..
A bigger effort to document the true history in it’s fullness should of been made as soon as the CCCP fell.
These ladies are fantastic. I had a great aunt who did similar type of work. All she would say was her code name.
What comfort and joy at the announcement of the finals of the war😇😇😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💪💪
I have read an watched many books/interviews, of these ladies. 🌟🌟🌟🙏🏼🎉I can’t imagine, in the 40’s!!!, these women were going to hotels for interviews Etc, and taking care with all the secrets. Totally different time. Then they became “regular” wives and mothers 🤯Hats off to you ladies and THANK YOU.
I wish they would tell you when these were recorded though. 🧐
👍👍🙏💕Great Women!!💕🙏👍👍. Thank you all💕
Outstanding!
Fantastic,I dips me lid to all of you wonderful women.
For such outstanding work.
Your bloody is worth blotting.
Thank you ladies.
You women were inspired😇❤🙏🏻👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪and faithfully maintained a high quality of professionalism..
A documentary about secrets, so secretive that every secret remains a secret!
Shhhh.
a true secret is a kept secret secret.
Does anyone know how to go about uncovering such family secrets?! My grandmother was in the airforce for ww2. I have a news article with her picture and name, stating Jane Gallagher was among the first women secretaries to work overseas in wartime for the airforce. She was very quiet about it. Upon her death, we discovered Jane Marie Gallagher wasn't her name! I know she went to England and France but have virtually no information on my own grandmother. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
What was her real name ? .. That might lead somewhere.
My great aunt did some sort of work other than spending her requisite time scanning the skies for the Civil Air Control. We also learned her real name was other than Marie Agnes Smith. Whatever secrets she knew, she took them to her grave. It’s funny because I was named for her!
You might find out more about the grandmother by using her name that wasn't for military & going to info like schools in area she was living when younger, church membership of her parents & her (if they went to one), info on homesteaders if her relatives were farmers, etc. The newspaper article you have covers the best way to acknowledge her military yrs. Trustworthy did not include doing show & tell when in or after out of it. May ask newspaper (about archives & getting to read) any articles about other women that she may have known when serving, etc.
You don't mention what nationality she was, but I do know that you can obtain War Service Records in UK.
@@sheilaboston7051 She was an American of French ancestry. I found her maiden name, being Geroux! Thanks for the suggestions everyone, the help is appreciated!
Thank you, Ladies!
Love the Swing Band area when music and dancing was fun.
🎤🎻🎶 love NY 🇺🇸💕💖
Love swing
😃👍
Thank you for the wonderful docu-work‼️
They are true heroines!
Awesome
Information is power.
These women are exceptional!! We all owe them so much as well as Sir William and all of the intelligence community that worked minute by minute in order to help our Allies secure our future and liberty!!
We need an agency like this now in order to get the rot out of our country that is fighting against the very values we hold dear and others died to preserve!!
The people that are sitting in supposed elected congressional seats and standing in our capital building opposing the American vote!! Disgraceful!!
excellent video,thank you
Filter cigarettes were not around during ww2...not invented until 1953
They had hand made ones you stick the cigarette into.
what amazing girls....
We never heard before because of a little thing called the Official Secrets Act.
In Canada? Do you not have a version of FOIA requests?
I like the shoes 👞 👟 you wore during your drills. You were all beautiful young ladies dedicated ❤ 💛 💗 💖 ♥ 💕 ❤ 💛 💗 and served your country
Heavenly Father please smile on them
Honour them in your hearts
WOW ‼️
📻🙂
Classy
This is an exceptional find. I read a book with similar content that was a life lesson. "The Silent Bridge: Echoes of the Unspoken Past" by Emma Wick
I have long had a burr under my saddle about the inexperienced Vera Atkins parachuting several hundred or more girls to certain death in France before they got it "right" sets my teeth on edge.
A MOVIE SHUD B MADE ABOUT DIS LADIES HU HELPED WIN WW11. DEY R TRU HEROINES TO EMULATE. INSTED OF FAKE SUPER HEROES BEING THROWN TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.

The disgusted statement intuitively scorch because malaysia hisologically hammer under a rainy possibility. petite, lucky push
Count how many times the words Canada/Canadian are used. Then strike out those which were vital to the sense of the sentence.
Hey Canucks. You did bloody well during that war, and should be enormously proud of those people. But this overuse reeks of insecurity, a deep-seated lack of confidence. Which I doubt would have been shared by the very people being discussed.
By the way, you now have shared Jordan Peterson; a magnificent gift to this planet. Also, very much a citizen of this world. His preferred adornment, a cartoon lobster, which in my opinion should replace the maple leaf on your flag. Get on it.
ps: I have made such an object and will post it in the FB page 'Canada add me as a friend' when they wake up.
Counted. Stroke none
THE MUSIC SUCK AND IT IS TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOUD
Oh...so a less heroic, less successful version of Bill Donovan.
Or in a trade where anonymity is everything a more successful spy master. BSC was about the only agency not penetrated by the Soviets, oss was riddled
