Jeannie Rousseau de Clarens, one of the most important spies of WW II, but probably the least known to the public, died in late August. It was her work that led to the British bombing of Peenemunde, where the Germans hoped to make an atomic bomb

See for her obituary by David Ignatious of the Washington Post.

In 1998, he wrote a story about her. Her exploits and survival while in concentration camps is the stuff of legends.

Really amazing, not to mention her modesty in wanting to talk about it.
