episode description

In the high-stakes environment of World War II, women of all backgrounds answer the call and go undercover: Krystyna Skarbek, the Polish aristocrat whose daring exploits will earn her the title of “Churchill’s Favourite Spy”; Andrée de Jongh, the humble Belgian girl whose ambitious escape network will save hundreds of Allied airmen; Josephine Baker, the glamorous dancehall singer whose fame provides the perfect cover for anti-Nazi activity; and brothel madame Kitty Schmidt, whose Nazi-run establishment will trade in both secrets and pleasure. With danger around every corner, the women extract crucial intel and conduct daring escapes, changing the course of history.
