01:30Vera begins the hunt to find her agents, dead or alive.
01:37Answer me.
01:38But she can't do it alone.
01:42So she turns to Britain's elite fighting service.
01:48The SAS and specialist Nazi hunter, Major Bill Barkworth.
02:31It's the 28th of April, 1945.
02:35The Ravensbrück concentration camp for women in northern Germany, 90 km north of Berlin.
02:45Soe agent Odette Sansom is in solitary confinement.
02:53But the camp is about to be overrun by the Soviet Red Army.
02:59At this point in the war, the Germans are completely on the back foot.
03:02They've got the Russians attacking from one side, the Red Army, and they've got the Americans and the British from
03:07the other side.
03:08I'm on my way.
03:09Himmler.
03:10Himmler has given the order that all witnesses to the horrors of the camp must be killed.
03:21The man who has come for Odette is Fritz Surin.
03:26Get up!
03:29Move!
03:30Yes!
03:31Up, up, up!
03:33Yes!
03:35Out, out!
03:38Fritz Surin was the commandant of Ravensbrück concentration camp.
03:42It was a women's only camp, and Surin had complete control of everything that went on within it.
03:47So, the forced labor programs that the women would be sent out into, the round-ups for the executions,
03:53and also the medical experiments that were carried out at Ravensbrück.
03:56He would oversee those and have an understanding of what that meant.
04:01Move!
04:02Come on!
04:02Odette is about to see daylight for the first time in six months.
04:08Move!
04:09But her life hangs in the balance.
04:21Surin flees the Soviet liberation of his camp, driving south of Berlin, towards the US Army line.
04:33As the Red Army and the Americans get closer to Ravensbrück, the Commandant, Surin, panics.
04:40Because at this point, he knows he is going to get captured by one army or the other, and he's
04:47going to make that decision himself.
04:49He's going to pick a side, and so he goes for the Americans and the British. This is who he
04:54aims for.
04:57Surin takes Odette with him, believing she is the perfect bargaining chip to win him freedom.
05:06When Odette was captured, she gave the surname of her network chief, Churchill, as her own surname, convincing Surin that
05:16she is related to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
05:19Hands up!
05:22But Surin is about to get a nasty shock.
05:32Don't fire!
05:35Identify yourselves!
05:37This is Odette Churchill!
05:39Don't shoot!
05:40Get out!
05:42This is Odette Churchill!
05:44The niece of Winston Churchill!
05:46Don't fire!
05:48Who are you?
05:53My name is Odette Sanson.
05:57I'm a member of the British Special Operations Executive.
06:04This man is a war criminal.
06:12Can you imagine what Surin would have thought?
06:15Because immediately Odette announces that not only is she not Churchill's niece or any relation to him, but she's an
06:22SOE agent.
06:23And she just confesses everything, this key information that he's been after for ages.
06:28It must have been incredibly frustrating and also humiliating for him.
06:33Odette's final act of humiliation is to steal Surin's bag containing his personalised pistol.
06:41She hands him over to the Americans, watches while he's taken in, takes his bag, which has a pistol and
06:48his other belongings, and hands it over in London to Vera Atkins.
06:53It would have been a huge relief to finally get to safety.
06:57It would also be crucial because she knew about other agents.
07:00She could then give crucial information to Vera Atkins.
07:078th of May, 1945.
07:12The Nazis surrender.
07:17Victory in Europe.
07:24In London, thousands pour into the streets to celebrate.
07:28As Churchill announces peace across the continent.
07:34For the SOE, it appears much of their work is done.
07:41But for Vera, her hunt is just beginning.
07:47Odette arrives back in London.
07:49She meets with Vera to debrief her and to see if she can help track down the lost women spies.
07:57It's so good to have you back.
08:01Thank you.
08:08After they arrested me, I was kept in prison in Paris.
08:19Then the Gestapo came.
08:25Just tell us.
08:30I didn't tell them anything.
08:36They seem to know so much.
08:42About the circuits.
08:44Who was involved, where, when.
08:51And then they took me over the border.
08:54Into Germany.
08:56Karlsruhe.
08:58With other women.
09:02Karlsruhe?
09:03Hm.
09:05And finally, Ravensbrück.
09:33Karlsruhe.
09:34You said there were other women.
09:45Karlsruhe.
09:47Karlsruhe.
09:48You said there were other women.
09:50from Karlsruhe.
09:58Thank you.
10:00It's an important lead for Vera.
10:08Nora Nirkan was one of Vera's favorite agents.
10:12One of the people she seems to really have cared about.
10:14When she was in training, there was some question mark as to whether or not Nora was good enough for
10:19the job because she seemed to be so kind.
10:22She said she could never lie.
10:23And yet Vera was really the one who gave the final approval and said, no, you're going to go and
10:28she'll be fine and it'll work.
10:36And Vera seems to have had a very guilty conscience, a very sort of deeply felt question as to what
10:43had happened to this delightful young woman who she really had been responsible for sending to France.
10:53I do.
10:55But no.
10:58Don't take my word for it though.
11:01Ask the b**** at the prison.
11:04Becca.
11:06Fraulein Becca.
11:09She ran the place.
11:13If anyone knows, she will.
11:21I think Vera's reaction to starting to uncover the stories of these women and to trace them to Karlsruhe must
11:27have come as a real shock to her.
11:33To understand the dehumanizing process that they'd been put through right from their arrest and now they're in solitary confinement.
11:43These women that she would have last seen on an airfield in England, full of life and full of hope
11:47and excitement for their missions, suddenly in this horrible world, having experienced some brutal things already and just starting to
11:56unravel their stories and wondering what became of them after they left this prison at Karlsruhe.
12:05Thanks to Odette, Vera has a major breakthrough in intelligence.
12:11It's important for Vera, not only professionally, but also personally.
12:18In a way, although Vera never had children herself, she does kind of have maternal qualities here in her investigation.
12:35Vera has the prison in Karlsruhe in southern Germany as the last location for at least seven women.
12:45Vera also knows about the Ravensbrück women's concentration camp, situated in northeastern Germany.
12:54Ravensbrück was a concentration camp just north of Berlin, and unlike every other concentration camp, it was for women.
13:01It was particularly horrifying for the sensibilities of people in the 1940s as well, where women are meant to be
13:08kept out of combat, out of war and treated with some level of humanity.
13:12Ravensbrück was a particular horrific sight to end up in.
13:20It's from here that three agents, including Yvonne Basden and Odette Sansom, have come back alive.
13:33Ravensbrück is also the last known location for young mother and widow, Violette Sabo.
13:47But there is one of Vera's agents that has not been spotted at either a prison or a camp, nor
13:55Inayat Khan.
14:02There's a generally held sense that Knorr, amongst the others, might be alive.
14:10And so she realizes too that there's a tremendous amount of pressure on her, that if she's going to find
14:15her missing agents, she's going to have to do it fast.
14:19Vera can't travel to Germany and continue her investigations due to her low rank.
14:27So she enlists the help of an army unit who are hunting Nazis across post-war Germany.
14:34A unit that was founded just a few years before, the SAS.
14:54The SAS, or Special Air Service, are an elite commando unit founded during the height of the war.
15:03The SAS were formed in the North African desert, and the concept behind their kind of operations were these fast
15:09hit-and-run missions.
15:10And they were deploying in these Willis Jeeps, which were very maneuverable and nimble, and they were heavily armed with
15:16mounted machine guns.
15:17And the idea was to carry out these hit-and-run raids, largely targeting Italian and German airfields.
15:25And they were extremely successful in the North Africa campaign.
15:29So in those 18 months or so that they soldiered there, the SAS had destroyed 387 proven enemy warplane kills.
15:37That's spectacular achievement.
15:41But in the winter of 1942, Hitler fights back.
15:47His Nazi high command issues the so-called commando order.
15:53What the commando order said was that any parachutist, so any allied parachutist, that could be SAS, it could be
16:00commandos, it could be special operations executive agents.
16:03Any of those captured behind the lines, whether in uniform or out of uniform, whether fighting or not fighting, whether
16:10trying to surrender or not, would be kept alive only for as long as it took the Gestapo and the
16:16SAS to interrogate them and find out what they knew.
16:19And then they would be shot out of hand.
16:24In other words, murdered.
16:28And what that meant for the SAS is if you were captured, it was a death sentence.
16:34Despite the order, the SAS continue their raids and are a key part of the Allied success in northern France
16:43that sees the Nazis defeated.
16:49With the end of the war, SAS Major Bill Barkworth and a team are sent to Germany to hunt down
16:56the Nazis who carried out the commando order and bring them to justice.
17:04Major Eric Bill Barkworth is an extraordinary figure in World War II, and especially within Special Forces history.
17:11He's eccentric, he's single-minded, he's a maverick, he's a rule-breaker, he's one of those very, very archetypal individuals
17:19who can think the absolute unthinkable.
17:22But the other thing about Barkworth as well, which is key to how he develops as a character during the
17:26war, is he's got this unshakable moral compass.
17:30His sense of right and wrong is absolutely inflexible.
17:37Barkworth has commandeered a private villa, the Villa Daigler, in Garganau, near Karlsruhe, on the edge of the Black Forest.
17:52And he is here on a special mission for the SAS.
17:59On the 12th of August, 1944, an SAS team was dropped behind enemy lines in the Vosges mountains of eastern
18:08France to hit the Nazis before an Allied advance.
18:14But the team were tracked down, and 31 soldiers were captured.
18:26After months of interrogation, the soldiers were taken to the woods, stripped, and shot.
18:38Such a loss of life would have a profound effect on everyone in the SAS.
18:45When you are serving in a unit like the SAS in World War II, you forge these bonds of brotherhood
18:51with your fellow operators, which are extremely, extremely powerful and close.
18:56If you read the accounts from people at the time, or you interview veterans, as I have, and you speak
19:01about those kind of relationships, they are very, very, very special.
19:05It's the kind of spirit that means you will lay down your life for your fellow brother in arms, and
19:11that's what so often happens.
19:20Barkworth is determined to find those responsible for the deaths of the 31 SAS soldiers.
19:30Chief among them is Hans Kiefer, the head of the SD, the Nazi intelligence agency in Paris.
19:45A man Vera also believes may know what happened to her lost women spies.
19:54So Vera shares the photos of her agents with Barkworth in the hopes he can help her.
20:01Both Barkworth and Vera, their investigations led them to one name, and that was Hans Kiefer.
20:09He was in charge of the SD. He was responsible for all of the investigations that the Gestapo and the
20:15SD were doing in Paris.
20:16So he was responsible for the interrogation of what the agents and what the soldiers of the SAS went through.
20:26He was a spider at the centre of the web, issuing all these orders for interrogating, and this is the
20:32man that they were desperate to find.
20:35But as the atrocities of Kiefer and other Nazis come to light, people back in the UK begin to ask
20:43some difficult questions.
20:52Vera receives a letter alerting her to the actions of Violet Sabo's father, Charles Bushell.
21:02Violet has a child called Tanya, and Bushell wants to know when the baby's mother will return.
21:09Is this the man who was an African-American woman?
21:16Violet Down and Donna.
21:24Violet sheset.
21:25Violet.
21:27Violet.
21:34Violet sheset.
21:34Violet sheset.
21:36Violet.
21:37Violet sheset.
21:39İzlediğiniz için teşekkür ederim.
22:07Şahbo's father, who's been left with her infant daughter, is starting to ask questions, is starting to push for answers.
22:14What's happened to my daughter? Why hasn't she come home?
22:16And there are others starting to step forward and say, listen, we've heard nothing.
22:20We don't know where they were serving. We don't know what part of the world they've ended up in.
22:24We don't know why they're not home.
22:25And so there starts to become this pressure from family members and friends and other acquaintances of these young women
22:31who've just suddenly vanished.
22:34And Vera has another problem.
22:38She has a new boss.
22:43Head of SOE F-Section, Morris Buckmaster, has returned to his civilian role of public relations manager at the Ford
22:52Motor Company.
22:54He is replaced by new broom...
22:57Vera.
22:59...Captain Norman Mott.
23:01Please, have a seat.
23:03A man who comes from the SOE Security Section...
23:08...and whose main interest is in keeping things secret.
23:14Mott doesn't help Vera very much.
23:16He doesn't see this as the sort of passionate necessity that Vera sees it as.
23:21And she's now started to get information about the camps.
23:27And she's pushing to see if she can get a chance to have some sort of contact or interrogate the
23:34heads of these camps where her agents might have ended up.
23:39And yet she's given the cold shoulder.
23:41She's really effectively told that this isn't of interest to the government.
23:46This is not of interest to her former colleagues.
23:48And would she please just leave it alone?
23:56So it's really tense for Vera.
23:58She doesn't know how much power she will have to carry on this investigation.
24:02She needs to find out if there are agents surviving in these camps.
24:06She has to find them before they are dead or gone.
24:08Or any evidence of them is wiped out.
24:11So the timing is crucial.
24:13And she is basically racing against the clock.
24:17Vera has to fight to convince Mott and the war office to allow her to go to Germany and speed
24:24up the hunt for her missing spies.
24:30Letters from agents' relatives asking difficult questions puts pressure on the home office.
24:38And after months of lobbying, Vera gets her answer.
24:45Vera will be given the rank of flight officer in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, allowing her to travel to
24:53Germany.
24:56But she is told that she has just four days to demonstrate she can get results.
25:15December 1945
25:19Vera's destination is Berlin
25:23A capital city in ruins
25:28A city conquered by the Soviet Union
25:34In among the destruction of Germany, Vera has just a few days to prove her worth to the war office.
25:46Vera's first mission is to identify the grave of F-Section's male agent, Clément Marc Jumeau,
25:53who is believed to have died of tuberculosis at a hospital north of Berlin.
25:59Many women were sent to Germany post-war, but mostly in secretarial roles or in a way to assist with
26:05the men of the armed forces who were trying to reconcile Germany.
26:10But Vera was there in a totally different capacity.
26:20And although she was probably very nervous and had a sense of trepidation, she really had to mask that and
26:26to go forward with an air of confidence and to prove that she was the right person to uncover the
26:32stories of the missing agents.
26:34But Vera has a problem, Jumeau's grave is most likely in Soviet-controlled Germany, north of Berlin.
26:43After the fall of Germany, the country is split into zones under control of the US, the UK, France and
26:51the Soviet Union.
26:56At a checkpoint in Bukh, Vera is stopped by a Soviet sentry and her progress is halted.
27:18Vera is blocked from entering the Soviet zone.
27:26If Vera fails here, she knows there is no chance that Mott and the War Office will allow her to
27:33continue her investigations.
27:36But then Vera addresses the sentry in Russian.
27:43Something the sentry would not have been expecting.
27:48They come to a Russian checkpoint and she speaks in Russian.
27:52And it must have been a real shock because for him, she was a member of the WAF.
27:56You know, she was a lady in a blue uniform and suddenly she's speaking Russian, which would have been something
28:02he would have been completely unprepared for.
28:06Vera somehow not only speaks Russian, but she does so with a level of fluency that the sentry lets them
28:15through.
28:17Vera is able to continue her journey into the Soviet zone, thanks to her unexpected ability to speak Russian.
28:35At the hospital, Vera questions the staff.
28:43And they direct her to the location of Jumot's grave.
28:51Within the first day of her time in Germany, Vera proves to the War Office and to Mott that her
28:58investigations get results.
29:01Now she can move on to the main reason for her journey, Ravensbruck.
29:16Ravensbruck.
29:20The women's camp.
29:2590 kilometers north of Berlin.
29:32Ravensbruck is a hideous camp which was set up specifically to hold women and tens of thousands of women died
29:41there.
29:42I think over 50,000 women were imprisoned there.
29:48Ravensbruck is of particular interest to Vera because she interviewed Odette who'd come out of Ravensbruck,
29:55who had told her about her agents who were there.
29:58So Ravensbruck seems to be the place, the concentration camp, where a lot of her agents disappeared.
30:05Vera is here to interrogate the commandant, Fritz Soeren.
30:10Ravensbruck camp is the camp which Odette left alive.
30:14It is also the last known location of Vera's missing agent, Violette Sabo, along with two others, Lillian Rolfe and
30:24Denise Bloch.
30:27Soeren holds the key to not just one, but possibly the lives of three of her agents.
30:34The pressure is on.
30:39Vera's not particularly experienced yet at interrogations, and she knows he has information.
30:47He knows everything that went on in the camp, and if there were special prisoners considered to be agents, he
30:53would have known.
30:59How many English women were at the camp?
31:06There were no English women at the camp.
31:11Odette is English.
31:14She was a special prisoner, for whom I had special responsibilities, because we thought she was related to Churchill.
31:25So the other English women, how many were there?
31:32I already told you, there were no others.
31:38I have testimony that there were.
31:48Answer me!
31:52I have nothing else to say.
32:00Surin offers Vera nothing.
32:13Without any new evidence, Vera leaves Ravensbrück and returns to London empty-handed.
32:21Answer me!
32:24Answer me!
32:24Answer me!
32:25Answer me!
32:29Back in London, Vera gets some news that could prevent her from ever finding her agents.
32:35Have a read, please.
32:40She is informed that F-section is to be closed down.
32:45Permanently.
32:48Norman Morton tells Vera that she's to wind down, she's to close the office, and really nobody's very interested in
32:55what's happening to these agents of hers.
33:02There is no sense that there should be accounts from surviving agents, which is what we see from other military
33:09intelligence departments.
33:11So there's no accountability, there's no learning from the mistakes of the past.
33:18So we were so embarrassed by some of its mistakes that it was just going to hush everything up and
33:24close it down as quickly as possible.
33:28If F-section is shut down, it would see Vera without the mandate to find her lost women spies.
33:40But for Vera, this wasn't acceptable, it wasn't fair, it wasn't fair on them, it wasn't fair on their families,
33:47and so she was determined to find out what had happened, particularly to the young women agents that she had
33:54personally sent to France.
34:04What Vera needs is new evidence that will shock her bosses into letting her continue.
34:21Vera receives word from SAS Major Barkworth about evidence from a secret concentration camp.
34:29A camp that has been liberated and filmed by U.S. forces.
34:38Known as Natzweiler Strutof, the camp is hidden in the Vosges mountains of eastern France, close to the German border.
34:52It is the only camp the Nazis build in France.
34:57A camp built to destroy the French resistance.
35:05On the 7th of December, 1941, Hitler passes an order codenamed Night and Fog.
35:14This secret order means anyone believed to be endangering German security can be abducted at night and without trial, taken
35:23to Natzweiler.
35:26People would be, according to the Nazi order, turned into mist.
35:33It's a way of punishing people that was more feared than any other.
35:41But it's what Barkworth includes next in his report that has the most shocking impact on Vera's hunt for her
35:49lost women spies.
36:01Vera reads Barkworth's interrogation report of a former prisoner at Natzweiler, Franz Berg.
36:28Bergh tells Barkworth he worked in the crematorium as a stoker.
36:34One day, in July 1944, Berg and the other stokers are told to expect some English women.
36:45From his crematorium cell, he witnesses their arrival.
36:56Franz gives a detailed deposition.
36:59He describes these English women who come.
37:02And on the night, he says that the head of the crematorium has told him to light the fires and
37:08take it to the hottest point by 9.30pm.
37:12They are hearing that these girls are going to be killed by lethal injection.
37:20They see three women being dragged.
37:23These are the English women.
37:24Two are unconscious.
37:25One of them seems to be moving.
37:27There's groans and grunts.
37:28And one even speaks and says,
37:32They are then dragged into the crematorium.
37:34They can't see anymore.
37:36And they say later that one of the women was alive and had scratched one of the men who had
37:40come.
37:41Then they heard the crematorium doors being shut, and they knew it was all being fired up.
37:49After that, there's silence.
37:55It's horror at what these girls would have gone through.
37:58There is no way, when they prepared them for their training, for the torture that might lie ahead,
38:03They would have envisaged something like this.
38:10After being shown Vera's photographs of her missing spies,
38:14Berg says that he believes one of the women brought to the crematorium is Noor Inayat Khan.
38:25Vera would have been absolutely horrified, and the thought that this could have been Noor as well.
38:30I mean, horrified for all the girls.
38:35And the fact that maybe this is what happened to Noor is something that really haunted her.
38:52Armed with Berg's testimony from Natsweiler, Vera heads to her superiors.
38:59She will not give up on her women.
39:11Berg's testimony makes disturbing reading for the British security services.
39:23Whitehall would be deeply troubled by the evidence that Vera is actually gaining of the sheer horror of the concentration
39:30camps,
39:31because let's not forget that the public don't know that women were sent behind enemy lines.
39:39Whitehall would not want this highly secret organisation, the SOE, knowledge of it to come out,
39:45but even more sensitive and potentially a public outcry to hear that women have been dropped into these dangerous areas,
39:55and that some of them hadn't come back and have been horrifically tortured.
40:00After seeing Berg's testimony, MI6 agree to fund Vera for another three months of investigations
40:07in the hope that Vera can keep the story of the lost women spies out of the public eye.
40:16Vera heads back to Germany.
40:41Vera is assigned to the war crimes unit at the British Army headquarters in Germany.
40:48The war crimes unit was based at Bad Oeynhausen, which was the headquarters of the British Army on the Rhine.
40:55So it was a very important place.
40:57And the war crimes unit was really trying to find high-ranking Nazis,
41:01people who would have been involved in what we would call war crimes.
41:05So with executions, with maltreatment of prisoners, with the concentration camp system in general.
41:12And the idea would not only be to find these officers,
41:15but also to find evidence about crimes against humanity that they had committed.
41:20So various murders or procedures that they had followed that were against the Geneva Convention.
41:30Vera will support the British judges in their evidence gathering.
41:40Vera's main role within the war crimes unit was to trace the missing SOE agents.
41:44And her job would be to trace them as best she could.
41:48This was going to be exceptionally difficult for her,
41:50as the prisoners were classified as Nacht und Nabel, Night and Fog.
41:54So most records would technically have disappeared if they'd ever been kept in the first place.
41:59But her job was to trace them through the various prison systems that they'd been through,
42:04had they gone into camps.
42:06And not only to trace them, but to trace the people responsible for their imprisonment
42:10and murders, if that was going to be the case.
42:16Vera begins by tracing back her agent's whereabouts
42:20before they get to the camp at Natsweiler.
42:24And her attention turns to a witness who could hold the key.
42:29It's a name given to Vera by Odette Sansom.
42:33It is the chief warder of Karlsruhe prison,
42:37Fräulein Becker.
42:44Vera leaves the war crimes office, headed for Karlsruhe prison,
42:48in the hope that finding Becker might give her the information she needs.
42:56Fräulein Becker would have been really important for Vera to get her hands on.
43:00She'd been identified in one of the affidavits of the surviving agents anyway,
43:04and Vera needed to go out and find her.
43:07Because as the chief wardress,
43:09she would have received all new prisoners coming into Karlsruhe.
43:12She would have met them personally,
43:14taken away their personal effects,
43:16made a record of what they were.
43:18She would have also recorded their names.
43:20So be they real names or their aliases,
43:23she would have recorded the names of the SOE women going into that prison.
43:34On arrival at the prison,
43:36Vera discovers that Fräulein Becker hasn't even left her post
43:42as chief warder.
43:45Vera can now begin her questioning.
43:52Karlsruhe was technically a civilian prison,
43:55so it wasn't really used for political prisoners,
43:58which arguably the SOE agents were.
44:00When they arrived at Karlsruhe,
44:03they were put into solitary confinement.
44:09Food would have been pretty grim and very scarce.
44:13They would have only had the clothes they were standing up in.
44:15And we know that the cells were quite sparse,
44:18a single bed, maybe a bucket for a toilet.
44:20So it was a very grim place.
44:26I didn't want them here.
44:28This is a regular prison,
44:29not for politicals like them.
44:31They should never have been here.
