Virginia Hall lost part of her leg and became one of the most dangerous spies of World War II.
The Gestapo called her “the most dangerous of all Allied spies.”
A woman they never expected helped change the course of the war.

#TheLine on ITVX is gripping tale of occupied France in WW2. Small triumphs + large failures of Resistance, love with the enemy, collabos and heroes and a few who were both. Drama showing messy awfulness of war but also strength of human spirit. Setting for real life #VirginiaHall

That feeling you get when the non-fiction library book you really loved about a woman in the WWII Resistance has a bunch of holds on it. I ended up buying it to reread. I hope the other readers loved it as much as I did. #AWomanOfNoImportance #SoniaPurnell #VirginiaHall #BookSky #ManyWaysToFight

One of the finest #WW2 agents against the Nazis: Baltimore-born #VirginiaHall was trapped in Paris in 1939. Fleeing to London she joined #SOE (and later #OSS).
Despite having lost her left leg from the knee down, she became one of the Gestapo’s most-wanted enemy agents.
