00:08World War II is over.
00:14The Allies have occupied Germany.
00:19But British women agents remain lost across Europe.
00:24Fire!
00:30Spymaster Vera Atkins now has a permanent position with the British Air Force
00:35to find her lost women spies.
00:39And she enlists the help of a crack team of SAS Nazi hunters,
00:44led by Major Bill Barkworth.
00:50Barkworth reports about a hidden concentration camp in eastern France,
00:55designed to make secret agents disappear without a trace.
01:02And the possibility that some of Vera's lost women spies may have died there.
01:11As Vera gathers evidence for the trials of leading Nazis,
01:15the horrors she is uncovering are too much for the authorities back in London.
01:22Vera receives a clear order.
01:24I need you to keep this disgusting business out of the newspapers.
01:29The true stories of all her lost women spies must be kept covered up.
01:35At all costs.
01:46The 11th of March, 1946.
01:51Nearly nine months since the end of the war in Europe.
01:59Vera is based at the British War Crimes Office in Germany,
02:04where her promotion allows her to travel the country to hunt for her lost women spies.
02:14Two names stand out.
02:30Vera is sent by Major Barkworth an interrogation report of prison crematorium worker France Berg.
02:45Berg claims Noor was killed along with three other women spies at the Natsweiler camp in July 1944.
02:55But a warder at Karlsruhe prison, Fräulein Becker,
03:00says she remembers Noor being in Karlsruhe many months later.
03:04Vera already has an eyewitness testimony from Natsweiler saying that Noor is dead.
03:12And now she has another eyewitness testimony saying,
03:14no, that is not true.
03:18Noor could still be alive.
03:23The other name is Violette Sabo.
03:28Violette left her one-year-old child behind to take up arms,
03:33a child whose father had already given his life in the war effort.
03:39Nazis won't know what hit them.
03:41Very good.
03:44Violette Sabo's situation is particularly sad because she lost her husband,
03:50who never actually met their daughter, gave birth to a child.
03:54And she left her child back with her family in the UK and parachuted into France.
04:01So determined was she to keep fighting against the Nazis.
04:06Violette was last heard of at the women's concentration camp at Ravensbrück,
04:12a camp from where Vera's agents Odette Sansom and Yvonne Bazden have both returned.
04:21So is Violette also alive?
04:27Vera never gives up hope.
04:29There's always this little sliver of hope that some of them would be alive.
04:33They may be in a terrible condition, but they are alive.
04:36Or they would have escaped and they will show up.
04:41So she keeps this hope in her when she goes, but she is prepared for the worst.
04:46And as she is uncovering these stories, Vera is getting hardened.
04:51The torture she's hearing about, it is hardening her.
04:57We have arrested an SS lieutenants from a camp north of Berlin.
05:03Which camp?
05:05Ravensbrück.
05:15Ravensbrück is Violette Sabo's camp.
05:20Is this the stroke of luck that Vera badly needs?
05:39SS lieutenant Johann Schwarzhuber was second in command at Ravensbrück.
05:49Schwarzhuber is a very important person for Vera to be able to interview
05:54because he holds absolutely crucial information
05:57about three of the women that she is looking for
06:01that she has since found out were taken to Ravensbrück concentration camp.
06:05and one of the women is a very important manger for the men who aç well to watchstory and
06:42this one
06:46she had the name Violet
06:53and
06:55what happened to her
06:59all three
07:00were taken to the crematorium building of the camp
07:05and one by one
07:07they were shot
07:15how do you know
07:21I watched
07:35Vera now has testimony
07:37that along with Violet
07:39Lillian Rolfe
07:40and Denise Block
07:41were executed
07:43at the Ravensbrück concentration camp
07:45north of Berlin
07:49Vera must have been absolutely shocked
07:51to hear this information
07:53she would have clung on to any last thread of hope
07:56that the women had survived the camp
07:58as she heard of these women
07:59who she'd been so affectionate for
08:01who she had really travelled across Europe
08:04and in dreadful conditions
08:06trying to find out what had happened to them
08:08and finally
08:09she has the evidence
08:10that these three women were murdered
08:21Vera personally writes letters
08:23for the bereaved families
08:25each one
08:26detailing her search for these spies
08:29missing
08:29presumed dead
08:31Vera would have felt
08:33shocked
08:34and upset
08:35but to some extent
08:36I think she might have also felt relief
08:38she had closure
08:40on this story
08:42and although it wasn't the end
08:43she would have wanted
08:44or hoped for
08:45she was finally able to tell
08:47the families of these three women
08:49what had happened to them
08:50and they were able to finally understand
08:53what their daughters
08:54wives
08:54children
08:55had gone through
08:56and what they had sacrificed
08:58for their country
09:06each letter
09:07has to be assessed
09:08by her superiors
09:10to make sure
09:11Vera doesn't give away
09:12any incriminating evidence
09:16Vera is in a very difficult position
09:19because the fact that there were women agents
09:22is not yet common knowledge
09:23they want to keep it out of the public eye
09:25because it's a very difficult thing
09:27to try and explain to families
09:29and acquaintances
09:30and loved ones
09:31that actually your daughter was sent
09:33into harm's way
09:34without protection
09:36without the protection
09:37of the Geneva Convention
09:38or the Hague Convention
09:39without the protection
09:41of the British government effectively
09:42they were meant to be completely deniable
09:44if they were captured
09:46or caught
09:46or indeed killed
09:52but there remain other spies
09:54who are unaccounted for
09:56like Noor Inayat Khan
09:59who, with two other agents
10:01was last seen at the Natzweiler camp
10:03in the mountains of eastern France
10:08In a few months
10:09the Natzweiler war crimes trial
10:11will start
10:12and Vera
10:13has been instructed
10:14to gather as much evidence
10:16as she can
10:17but she can't do it
10:19alone
10:24In the spring of 1946
10:26Vera travels
10:28to Garganau
10:29a small town
10:30near Karlsruhe
10:43It's here
10:44she visits
10:44Major Bill Barkworth
10:46at a property
10:47his SAS unit
10:48have commandeered
10:49called
10:49the Villa Daigler
10:52Vera Atkins
10:54Good to finally meet you
10:56And you, sir
10:57Yes
11:01Barkworth
11:02has offered Vera
11:03the chance
11:03to get a witness statement
11:05from a former
11:06Natzweiler prisoner
11:08A man who worked
11:10as a crematorium stoker
11:12and is currently
11:13held captive
11:14in the cellars
11:15of the Villa
11:15along with other prisoners
11:17rounded up
11:17by Barkworth's
11:18Nazi hunter unit
11:19His name
11:21is Franz Berg
11:24Berg's testimony
11:25is key
11:26to whether Vera
11:27can get a conviction
11:28against those
11:30who ran the camp
11:30and may have murdered
11:32her women agents
11:40The next women
11:41to be killed
11:41by injection
11:48Rather than guessing
11:49were two English
11:51and two French women
12:04They were brought
12:06to the cells
12:06in the crematorium building
12:07one afternoon
12:09in July
12:101944
12:25we
12:26me
12:27and the other prisoners
12:30could see through
12:31the fan light
12:32without standing up
12:38we heard
12:39low voices
12:42we heard
12:43noises of
12:44every breathing
12:46and low groaning
12:49next to women
12:51we heard the same noises
12:53and regular groans
12:56but the fourth
12:58she resisted
13:00in the corridor
13:03I heard her say
13:05why
13:09do
13:09I
13:09I
13:09I
13:10I
13:10I
13:10I
13:28got
13:36from
13:36got
13:36him
13:36in
13:36right
13:36I
13:36don't
14:03Vera
14:03Vera now has a witness statement
14:05that she can use at the upcoming
14:07Natsweiler war crimes trial
14:09a testimony
14:11identifying that some of Vera's agents
14:14including Noor
14:16were killed at the camp
14:18but even with Berg's testimony
14:20this is only one man's recollection
14:23Vera needs more evidence
14:30Vera continues her preparation
14:32for the Natsweiler war crimes trial
14:36thanks to Barkworth
14:38she now has Berg's testimony
14:40and other witness statements
14:43but Vera lacks
14:44a critical piece of evidence
14:46if she wants to convict
14:48those who ran Natsweiler
14:51Vera needed hard evidence
14:54if she wants to bring
14:55those perpetrators to justice
14:58she needs to gather
15:00enough of the hard evidence
15:02that will stand up
15:04in a court of law
15:05to actually bring them to justice
15:08Vera needs documentary evidence
15:11something that ties those
15:14who ran the camp
15:15with her missing agents
15:18so Vera tries to find documents
15:20that show which of her agents
15:22were murdered
15:23at Natsweiler
15:26four of her agents
15:27were sent there
15:28from Karlsruher prison
15:31surely
15:32Fräulein Becker
15:33at Karlsruher
15:34would have kept records
15:39I need to see your records
15:41now please
15:42we don't have any
15:44I can't imagine that
15:47the French
15:48when they came
15:50they destroyed everything
15:51smashed it all up
15:56all gone
15:59Fräulein Becker
16:00tells Vera
16:01that all the prison documents
16:03were destroyed
16:03by the French
16:04now that reeks of a lie
16:07Vera must have known
16:08she was lying
16:08because why would the French
16:10go to a German prison
16:11and just randomly
16:12destroy all the records
16:16but she's nowhere
16:17finding out
16:17unless Fräulein Becker
16:19tells her the truth
16:20and how is she going
16:21to get her to do that
16:25Vera chooses to visit
16:27Becker again
16:29this time
16:30with the SAS
16:41at Karlsruher prison
16:42Barkworth and Vera
16:44confront
16:45Fräulein Becker
16:48where are they
16:50where are what
16:51the records
16:52I don't know
16:54I know you know
16:55where are they
16:55I don't know
16:59search of it
17:00all of it
17:04you said the French
17:05destroyed everything
17:06they did
17:06why would they do that
17:07I don't know
17:08because you lie
17:12mom
17:15what do we have here
17:16hmm
17:16I don't know
17:21the records
17:24you lie
17:26liar
17:44Vera
17:45Vera and Barkworth
17:45go through the prison records
17:49every entry and exit
17:51from the prison
17:52is marked
17:55Vera finds entries
17:56that on the 6th of July
17:581944
17:59four women agents
18:01are transferred
18:02from the prison
18:03at Karlsruher
18:03to the concentration camp
18:05at Natsweiler
18:10this corroborates
18:12what Berg told Vera
18:13about four agents
18:14who were killed
18:15at Natsweiler
18:23Vera
18:24Vera now
18:24has clear evidence
18:25that four women agents
18:27were murdered
18:28the names
18:29are Andre Borrell
18:33Vera Lee
18:35Diana Roden
18:38and Sonia Olshineski
18:42the fourth name
18:44Sonia Olshineski
18:45is unknown to Vera
18:49Vera expected
18:50to see
18:51Noor's name
18:52or alias
18:55witnesses
18:56had identified
18:57Noor
18:57as travelling
18:58with this group
18:59to Natsweiler
19:00Noor was born
19:02in Moscow
19:02so a Russian
19:03sounding alias
19:04could make sense
19:08For Vera
19:10Sonia Olshineski's entry
19:12taken with other evidence
19:14is actually for
19:15Noor
19:16Inayat Khan
19:19Vera has written evidence
19:21that four SOE women
19:23including Noor
19:24Inayat Khan
19:25are transported
19:26from Karlsruher
19:27to Natsweiler
19:28and most likely
19:30killed there
19:31She can now
19:33take the evidence
19:34to trial
19:40The 29th of May
19:421946
19:44The Natsweiler
19:45war crimes trial
19:46begins in
19:47Vorpital
19:47in the west
19:48of Germany
19:51The Natsweiler trial
19:52would have been
19:53so important
19:54to Vera
19:54and it was
19:55her other chance
19:56to get information
19:57about the women
19:58so she could provide
19:59that to the families
20:00and their close ones
20:01but also to bring
20:02these men to justice
20:06This was the most
20:08brutal execution
20:09murder in fact
20:11of these women
20:11It didn't need to be done
20:13in such a horrific manner
20:15if at all
20:17This will be
20:18a British-led trial
20:19with Nazis tried
20:20on German soil
20:21but under
20:22international law
20:25a trial
20:26about one of the Nazis
20:28specially hidden
20:28concentration camps
20:30in the mountains
20:31of France
20:34Natsweiler
20:34Natsweiler isn't
20:35particularly well known
20:36but it was in
20:37microcosm
20:38the system
20:40of the concentration
20:40camps set up
20:41in Germany
20:42and in this case
20:43in France
20:43it was a camp
20:44of 22,000 deaths
20:46around 55,000 people
20:48held
20:48went through
20:49Natsweiler
20:50so relatively small
20:51compared to some
20:51of the other
20:52concentration camps
20:53in the Reich
20:54but nevertheless
20:55a system
20:55of tremendous brutality
20:57slave labour
20:58medical experimentation
21:00oppression
21:01violence
21:02the Kapo system
21:03a terrible
21:04terrible place
21:08but before
21:09the trial starts
21:10Vera receives
21:12a blunt instruction
21:13from her new boss
21:14Norman Mott
21:16Vera
21:19everything
21:19and I mean
21:21everything
21:22has been done
21:23in London
21:24to keep this
21:25disgusting business
21:26out of the newspapers
21:28I need you
21:29to ensure
21:30that the press's
21:31interest is discouraged
21:32but to our
21:33reputation
21:34is any good
21:37I understand
21:42I suggest you start
21:43by getting the names
21:44of the dead
21:45withheld from the trial
21:51their families
21:52won't like it
21:53Norman
21:55they want to know
21:56what happened
22:00too bad
22:02it's a disgusting
22:04business
22:04which is best
22:05buried
22:09have you got a match
22:13no
22:15no
22:15no
22:17Jim
22:24the Nats
22:25the Nats
22:25the Nats
22:26the Nats
22:26the Nats
22:26would have been
22:27a troubling
22:27time for Vera
22:28not only because
22:29of hearing
22:30the dreadful
22:31incidences
22:31and details
22:32of what had happened
22:33but also
22:34the SOE
22:35was still
22:35a secretive
22:36organisation
22:36people were not
22:37aware
22:38that women
22:39had been sent
22:40into the fields
22:40in violation
22:41of the Geneva
22:42Convention
22:46and she
22:46probably worried
22:47not only
22:48if their names
22:49got out
22:49into the press
22:50what had
22:50happened
22:51to them
22:51but there
22:52was questions
22:52be start
22:53to raise
22:53about who
22:54had sent
22:54them
22:55why had
22:56they sent
22:56them
22:56why had
22:57this been
22:57allowed
22:58to happen
23:01after four
23:02days of
23:02hearings
23:03the verdicts
23:04are delivered
23:05to the accused
23:15Werner Roder
23:16the medical
23:16officer
23:17who injected
23:18the women
23:18is given
23:19a death
23:19sentence
23:28Peter Straub
23:30SS officer
23:31in charge
23:31of the
23:32executions
23:32is given
23:3313 years
23:34in prison
23:35later that
23:37year
23:37he is given
23:38a death
23:39sentence
23:41Fritz
23:42Hardenstein
23:42the commandant
23:43of Natsweiler
23:44is imprisoned
23:45for life
23:48the verdict
23:49of the
23:49Natsweiler
23:50trial
23:50was that
23:51the three
23:51men
23:51who were
23:52on trial
23:53for the
23:53murder
23:54of these
23:54SOE
23:54women
23:55were all
23:56found guilty
23:56so in
23:57some respects
23:58that's a
23:58very positive
23:59outcome
24:00she had
24:00proved that
24:01this murder
24:01was unlawful
24:03this execution
24:04as they
24:04called it
24:05but then
24:06the sentences
24:06may have
24:07been a
24:08bittersweet
24:08moment
24:09did Vera
24:09want an
24:10eye for
24:10an eye
24:10at this
24:11point
24:11did she
24:11want to
24:12see these
24:12men suffer
24:13and pay
24:13the ultimate
24:14price
24:14or was she
24:15just happy
24:16to have
24:17received the
24:17guilty
24:17verdict
24:18she was a
24:19very straightforward
24:20woman and I
24:21think she
24:21would have
24:21been just
24:22pleased to
24:23have seen
24:23these men
24:24go down
24:25for what
24:25they'd done
24:28Vera secures
24:30the agreement
24:30of the court
24:31that the names
24:32of the dead
24:32will be withheld
24:33from publication

25:19taken by
25:20American
25:21investigators
25:21of Gestapo
25:23soldiers stationed
25:24in the town
25:25of Karlsruhe
25:34One soldier
25:36Max
25:36Vassmer
25:37recalls
25:38transporting
25:39women prisoners
25:40from Karlsruhe
25:41to Dachau
25:42concentration camp
25:46The ranks
25:47of three
25:48of the women
25:48match
25:49those of
25:50Vera's
25:50unaccounted
25:51agents
25:52and Vassmer's
25:54detailed description
25:55of one woman
25:56matches
25:57Madeleine
25:57Damermont
26:03At Dachau
26:04Vassmer reportedly
26:06tells his
26:06colleagues
26:07that he
26:07pronounced
26:08the death
26:08sentence
26:09on the
26:09women
26:11and that
26:12they were
26:13then killed
26:16But can
26:17Vera
26:17be sure?
26:20Other
26:21Gestapo
26:21soldiers
26:22claim there
26:23were four
26:23women
26:24not three
26:25like Vassmer
26:26says
26:26They also
26:27claim
26:28that one
26:28of the
26:29women
26:29came from
26:29a completely
26:30different
26:30prison
26:31called
26:32Pforzheim
26:32not Karlsruhe
26:34as Vassmer
26:35states
26:35One of the
26:37problems
26:37that Vera
26:38has
26:38and indeed
26:39all of the
26:39people involved
26:40in the war
26:40crimes trials
26:41have
26:41is the
26:43veracity
26:43of the
26:43witnesses
26:44because
26:45when she
26:45got
26:46testimony
26:47or drawings
26:48or
26:49verification
26:49from her
26:51own side
26:52her own
26:52agents
26:53or people
26:53who were
26:53also in
26:54the camps
26:54and said
26:55they saw
26:55three women
26:56or four
26:57women
26:57who came
26:58into the
26:58camp
26:59she can
26:59believe
26:59them
27:00they may
27:00not
27:00remember
27:01everything
27:01but at
27:01least
27:02she knows
27:03that they're
27:03being
27:03honest
27:04but when
27:04you're
27:05relying
27:05on the
27:05testimony
27:06of an
27:06SS
27:07officer
27:07or a
27:08capo
27:08who's
27:09worked
27:09in the
27:09camp
27:09they're
27:10also
27:11self-interested
27:11they also
27:12want to
27:12exonerate
27:13themselves
27:13and so
27:14it's very
27:14difficult
27:15often to
27:15know
27:15if they're
27:16telling
27:16the truth
27:17and so
27:18even though
27:18she gets
27:19the
27:19Vasma
27:19testimony
27:20and she
27:21thinks
27:21she's
27:21got
27:21some
27:22solid
27:22information
27:23about
27:23what's
27:23happened
27:23to her
27:24final
27:24three
27:24agents
27:25she can't
27:26really be
27:26sure
27:26particularly
27:27when then
27:28she gets
27:28contradictory
27:29evidence
27:29can
27:31can
27:31Vera
27:32trust
27:32Vasma's
27:33testimony
27:33in the

31:15sort of
31:16wonderful
31:16sense of
31:16completion
31:17but also
31:17this
31:18tragic
31:18pang
31:19of knowing

31:24nature
31:24of their
31:25deaths
31:25it must
31:26have been
31:26absolutely
31:27awful
31:34Vera

31:35believes
31:36she has
31:37sufficient
31:37evidence

31:39of her

32:24completed
32:24in London
32:28it is
32:28with the
32:29deepest
32:29regret
32:30that I
32:30have to
32:31inform you
32:31that your
32:32daughter
32:32was killed
32:33in the
32:34early hours
32:34of the
32:3513th of
32:36September
32:371944
32:37in the
32:39camp
32:39of Dachau
32:40according
32:41to what
32:41is believed
32:42to be a
32:42reliable
32:43report
32:44she was
32:44shot through
32:45the back
32:45of the
32:46head
32:46and death
32:47was
32:47immediate
32:49the
32:49body
32:49was
32:50cremated
32:50in the
32:51camp
32:51crematorium
32:53Vera
32:54does
32:54succeed
32:55in
32:55discovering
32:56the
32:57fate
32:57of the
32:5712
32:58missing
32:58women
32:59agents
32:59and in
33:01that sense
33:01there is
33:02closure
33:02for her
33:03she has
33:04succeeded
33:05in discovering
33:06what's
33:06happened
33:06to all
33:06of them
33:07but also
33:08it means
33:09that she
33:09can write
33:10to the
33:10families
33:11and
33:11personally
33:12tell them
33:13what's
33:13happened
33:14and she
33:15carries
33:15that
33:16for the
33:16rest
33:16of her
33:17life
33:17what you
33:18find
33:19later
33:19in life
33:20is some
33:20of the
33:21children
33:21of the
33:22agents
33:23who died
33:23in action
33:24actually
33:24seek her
33:25out
33:25they travel
33:25from across
33:26the world
33:26because she's
33:28the one
33:28tangible
33:29physical
33:30link
33:31with those
33:32agents
33:33and so she
33:34assumes a
33:35really important
33:35role
33:36not only
33:37immediately
33:38after
33:39investigations
33:40but for the
33:41rest of her
33:42life
33:42she's the
33:43one that
33:44carries
33:44their
33:44memory
33:49Vera

33:50uncovered
33:51the fate
33:51of her

33:54to leave

34:00with this
34:01part of her
34:02mission over
34:02Vera
34:03will return
34:04to England
34:12now she
34:14must answer
34:15the hardest
34:16question
34:18how did
34:20it all go
34:21so wrong
34:33Vera
34:34must now
34:35uncover
34:35why so
34:36many of
34:37her

34:37were captured
34:38and how
34:39the Nazi
34:40intelligence
34:40service
34:41seemed to
34:42infiltrate
34:43SOE's
34:43agent
34:44networks
34:44so
34:45successfully
34:46when

34:48there's
34:49a
34:49niggling
