Short filmTranscript
00:03World War II is over, but British women agents remain missing throughout Europe.
00:14The other English women, how many were there?
00:18Answer me!
00:20Nazi radio mastermind Josef Goertz gives spymaster Vera Atkins an explosive testimony.
00:28Yes, I believe that's him.
00:31Implicating Henri Derricourt as the double agent who betrays the British SOE to the Gestapo.
00:43Derricourt is arrested in Paris, but has Vera really got the man who betrayed her women agents?
00:52Whitehall has closed down the special operations executive.
00:58But Vera has evidence from a French resistance fighter that her agent, Noor Inayat Khan, could still be alive.
01:07Vera will not give up.
01:10One agent who does make it back alive is Odette Sansom.
01:14She is driven out of Ravensbrück concentration camp by its commandant, Fritz Surin.
01:21This man is a war criminal.
01:22Surin is now on the run.
01:25But his deputy, Johann Schwarzhuber...
01:28What happened to her?
01:29They were shot.
01:31...is in custody, awaiting the Ravensbrück trial.
01:46It's the 5th of December, 1946.
01:50In Hamburg, in the British zone of occupied Germany...
01:55...the Ravensbrück trial begins.
02:00The defendants are concentration camp personnel from all divisions of the camp.
02:07SS officers.
02:09Camp doctors.
02:11Female guards.
02:13It is a Nazi camp like no other.
02:19Ravensbrück was a concentration camp, and unlike every other concentration camp, it was a concentration camp for women.
02:28It was particularly horrifying.
02:30For the sensibilities of people in the 1940s as well, where women are meant to be kept out of combat,
02:36out of war, and treated with some level of humanity,
02:39Ravensbrück was a particular horrific site to end up in.
02:47The Ravensbrück trial is important, and it's unique because of the treatment of prisoners within the camp.
02:54In particular, the medical experiments that had been carried out for sterilisations, for example.
03:04Vera's role in the trial is to manage the extensive evidence she has brought together, passing it on to the
03:12prosecutors.
03:17But she must not reveal her role to the international press.
03:35The trial features one of the camp's most notorious SS officers.
03:44The trial features one of the prisoners, Johann Schwarzhuber.
03:47He is about to face one of his accusers.
03:52Barrister, could you please say who this man in front of us is?
03:56Johann Schwarzhuber.
04:00And who is your next witness?
04:04Adette Sansom.
04:09Adette Sansom is a star witness for the prosecution, giving damning testimony about what happened at the camp,
04:17at the hands of Schwarzhuber and others.
04:22The court hears from Odette and other witnesses about the treatment of female agent Violette Sabo,
04:31who is described talking about my baby, my baby, her young child left behind in Britain.
04:46And how Violette and two other agents, Lillian Rolfe and Denise Bloch,
04:54are brought from the punishment block, emaciated, dirty and weak.
05:06They are then taken behind the crematorium building and shot.
05:14The trial would have been difficult for Vera as the witnesses took the stands.
05:19Although she'd probably already interviewed some of them previously,
05:22she may have compartmentalised it in some way.
05:26But having seen and spoken to and befriended the agents that she had sent into the field,
05:32the realisation of what these women had sacrificed
05:36and what the overarching impact on their families were going to be,
05:40it must have been harrowing for her.
05:45At the end of the trial, Schwarzhuber is sentenced to death
05:51and executed on the 3rd of May, 1947.
05:56Five of the female guards are also executed.
06:01Fritz Suren, the commandant, remains a fugitive from justice.
06:08But before the closing statements are finished,
06:12Vera is already on her way to try and track down the last of her lost women spies,
06:17Noor Inayat Khan.
06:31Previously, Vera received a letter from a French resistance fighter,
06:37Yolande Lagrave,
06:38claiming she had contact with Noor
06:41in a prison in Pforzheim in the west of Germany.
06:49This directly contradicted Vera's evidence
06:52from crematorium stoker Franz Berg.
06:55He claimed that Noor was killed
06:57at the Natsviler concentration camp in France.
07:03Vera already has an eyewitness testimony from Natsviler
07:07saying that Noor is dead.
07:08And now she has another eyewitness testimony saying,
07:11no, that is not true, she is here.
07:12What eyewitness do you trust?
07:15How does Vera make this decision?
07:18She needs some sort of corroborating evidence
07:21to prove one way or the other.
07:26So what did happen to Noor?
07:30Vera needs another witness statement.
07:35So she decides to interrogate one particular Gestapo soldier
07:40for a second time.
07:45Max Vassmer transported SOE agents
07:48to Dachau concentration camp
07:50in September 1944.
07:56Vassmer claims that he transferred three women
08:00to the camp,
08:01even though other witnesses say
08:03there was a fourth woman.
08:06A woman from Pforzheim prison.
08:17Three.
08:19You're sure it was three?
08:23Three women.
08:26Not men.
08:27Women.
08:32Because the other guards say you're wrong.
08:41The receipt said three women.
08:46That is not what I asked.
08:48Did you take three women?
08:57Three.
08:58Four.
08:59What's the difference?
09:00It's all the difference.
09:09So it was four.
09:11Four.
09:12Four.
09:17Four.
09:18Three from Karl Sragoa.
09:22And another.
09:28From...
09:30Four time, I think.
09:35Please tell me what they looked like.
09:39All of them.
09:44She looked like she may have been Indian.
10:00Vassmer describes the fourth woman.
10:04giving a description of a woman who Veera believes is Noor Inayat Khan.
10:31Vassmer reveals that Noor is taken outside the camp with the other women and made to kneel in front of
10:38a mound of earth.
10:42The only word Noor says, before she is shot, is the French word for freedom, Liberté.
10:55Thank you, Herr Vassmer.
11:00We're done.
11:03Veera can now put to rest her quest to find out Noor's story, and her final resting place, the concentration
11:11camp at Dachau.
11:25To be continued...
11:43...of the Nazis.
11:46Could it have been Henri Derricourt?
11:50There were allegations, but Vera still doesn't know for sure.
11:58The man who would know...
12:01...is Hans Kiefer.
12:05The man in charge of Nazi intelligence in Paris.
12:12To find him, Vera needs the SAS.
12:23SAS intelligence officer Major Bill Barkworth and his men...
12:28...stake out a small town in southern Germany.
12:34They've received a tip-off from Vera...
12:37...that Hans Kiefer has been spotted here.
12:40It is Kiefer's hometown.
12:43They're looking for the caretaker of a local hotel...
12:46...who signs the town hall register as Hans Kiefer.
12:50The name is suspiciously similar...
12:53...with only one F removed.
12:55...
12:59...
13:43Hans-Joseph Kiefer, Senior Counterintelligence Officer, 84 Avenue 4, Paris.
13:55Yeah.
14:00Get him out of here.
14:04Barkworth and Vera have their man.
14:08Now it is their chance to find out who betrayed all of Vera's women agents.
14:18It is January, 1947.
14:22Vera is face to face with her secret enemy, Hans Kiefer.
14:29Hans Kiefer is a lifelong Nazi, so he joined the Nazi party in the early 1920s, so very,
14:35very early on.
14:36And he rises to become, during the war, the head of the Gestapo and SS operation runner
14:42in Paris.
14:46So this was an operation specifically aimed at hunting down mostly special operations executive
14:53agents in the field.
14:55So agents of the SOE in France.
14:57But the thing about Hans Kiefer is he's a fascinating individual because he's not like you would
15:02imagine your archetypal SS bruiser.
15:05He's a subtle, wily, clever fox.
15:11Vera has waited almost two years for this moment, the chance to interrogate the man who could
15:19answer all her questions, the man who holds the key to her lost women spies, and what really
15:27happened to Knorr, codename Madeleine.
15:33Berlin considered the French section of SOE particularly dangerous.
15:41Both the Führer and Himmler had shown a personal interest.
16:08I remember Madeleine.
16:16Refused to corroborate.
16:20Unlike the others.
16:25She tried to escape with a group of male agents.
16:31It wouldn't have ruined us if she made it back to SOE.
16:36Ruined me.
16:38So I sent her away.
16:43She ended up in Furtzheim, I think.
16:51She was a brave one.
17:00Her name was Knorr Inayat Khan.
17:05She is most likely dead.
17:10Shot through the head at Dachau.
17:19Kiefer, if one of us is going to cry, it is going to be me.
17:23You will please stop this comedy.
17:31Who betrayed them, Kiefer?
17:34Who betrayed Knorr?
17:39You're asking me if there was a traitor in your ranks.
17:48Why are you asking me?
17:52You know yourself, there was one.
17:57You recalled him to London.
18:01Gilbert?
18:07And who is Gilbert?
18:11I think you're now.
18:15Of course you're now.
18:19Only
18:20dare he go.
18:40Here, at last, is Vera's definitive proof that Henri Derricor is the double agent.
18:48Don't worry, Derricor.
18:50We'll clear this whole sorry business up.
18:53Thanks, sir.
18:54Despite Buckmaster and Boddington's investigation clearing him.
19:04There is no doubt in Vera's mind that with all the resistance evidence coming in,
19:09all of the information that Kiefer knows about Derricor,
19:12obviously now, for Vera, she knows Derricor is the mole.
19:18He is a double agent.
19:20He's the reason that all of her agents, or a lot of them,
19:23ended up in concentration camps.
19:25He's the reason that they were murdered.
19:28And the anger that must have pulsed through her at that point.
19:31This isn't a sinking feeling anymore.
19:33This is something that she needs justice for.
19:38Now, Vera has a star witness who can testify against,
19:42and hopefully convict, Henri Derricor.
19:56June, 1948.
20:02Henri Derricor is brought to trial in Paris.
20:10Here is Vera's chance for justice.
20:15Vera had spent the last few years building up her case against Henri Derricor.
20:20I mean, she had everything.
20:22Now she was a civilian, obviously, she wasn't leading the prosecution,
20:25so she couldn't determine what evidence they were going to use in court against him.
20:29But she had so much.
20:31She had, like, affidavits from actual Nazi war criminals who named him.
20:36She had all of the evidence that she'd gathered from her own agents.
20:39She had all the evidence from the French resistance.
20:43Henri Derricor was at the centre of this web of lies,
20:47and she could prove it.
20:49It was all right there.
20:50She must have felt so confident when they entered the courtroom.
20:54But it is soon clear it may not be as easy as Vera hopes.
21:02It's now been over a year since Vera interrogated Hans Kiefer.
21:08She is told that in June, 1947,
21:12Kiefer was convicted of the murder of five SAS men
21:16and executed before he can give evidence at the Derricor trial.
21:24Hans Kiefer would have known more than anybody else
21:27about every single agent who was arrested when and how
21:31and the radio game, and also what informers he was using.
21:34So, one might think that his evidence would have been,
21:38or a statement at least, would have been crucial
21:40to the eventual trial of Henri Derricor as a traitor.
21:47I mean, there's a potential conspiracy theory around the fact
21:51that he was deliberately executed so that he couldn't reveal
21:55the full extent of the SOE failings and disastrous infiltrations.
22:02Next, Vera discovers the statement which she extracted from Kiefer
22:06is not going to be put before the court.
22:10Finally, no former SOE officers will appear in court to give evidence.
22:20But, on the final day, one former officer does make the trip to Paris.
22:29None other than Nicholas Boddington.
22:38Could Boddington be the man to help get Derricor convicted?
22:50Boddington gives evidence, but instead of giving evidence
22:54against Derricor, Boddington testifies that Derricor's contact
22:58with the Nazis was fully authorised for counter-espionage purposes.
23:09Henri Derricor is found not to be a traitor.
23:14Instead, partially thanks to Boddington's testimony,
23:18he is acquitted.
23:19Derricor is a free man.
23:24Vera has to face the possibility
23:26that her women agents were compromised
23:29so that Derricor could supply intelligence to London
23:32about the Nazis.
23:35Put yourself in Vera's boots.
23:37She's been trying to prosecute Henri Derricor for years.
23:40And here, it's almost like a farcical trial.
23:43And not only does the prosecution not really try
23:45and pin him down and brings virtually no witnesses,
23:48but the defence, they bring Boddington.
23:52Like, this is a man that Vera's worked with.
23:54And he knows what she's been doing.
23:57He knows that she's desperately been trying
23:59to bring justice to all the women.
24:01Some of them were tortured to death.
24:04And she feels responsible for that
24:06because she's the person who sent them out there.
24:09How could you, Nick?
24:10Vera.
24:11How could you support that traitor?
24:15Testify for him after everything he did to my agents.
24:18Our agent.
24:20Vera.
24:20You're a liar.
24:22Everything I said was true.
24:24You're a liar.
24:26Vera, Derricor's contact with the SD was authorised.
24:30I sent my girls to war
24:32with no protection under the Geneva Convention.
24:35If they were made as spies, they faced certain death.
24:40You sent them to their deaths.
24:43You sent a widow with a young daughter to France.
24:46That child is now an orphan.
24:49You pulled Nora out of training early
24:51because you needed a wireless operator.
24:54You volunteered for this job.
24:56Begged Buckmaster to play with the big boys.
24:59Don't forget that.
25:02I don't know you, Nick.
25:04You never did.
25:07It appears that the men at the top of the British establishment
25:12want the true story of the women spies to be lost permanently.
25:20But others are now interested in what happened to Vera's spies.
25:27In the early 1950s, writer Jean Overton Fuller
25:31begins researching a series of books about the SOE.
25:37Jean wants to find out what happened to her friend Noor Inayat Khan,
25:42who disappeared during the war after telling Jean she was going away.
25:48Despite being warned off by establishment figures,
25:52Fuller interviews former members of the SOE,
25:56and one man in particular.
26:04Codename Gilbert.
26:08Henri Derricourt.
26:13Her work results in three books about the SOE,
26:17with the last called Double Webs, published in 1958.
26:23The book makes the controversial claim
26:26that Noor and other agents are sent by the SOE
26:30into the hands of Henri Derricourt,
26:34with the full knowledge that Derricourt is a double agent,
26:39working with the Nazis.
26:44The book makes headlines.
26:47Delivery for Mrs. Ward!
26:49Several MPs receive letters
26:51from the families of lost women spies
26:53wanting to know the whole truth about their daughters.
27:02One MP is Conservative member for Tyneside, Irene Ward.
27:11Irene, through the Home Office,
27:14requests an interview with someone who knows what happened.
27:18The Home Office sends Vera.
27:33Overton Fuller writes, and I quote,
27:35I have read the book, Mrs. Ward.
27:43It's a shame, really,
27:45that accuracy appears to be secondary concern.
27:50I find these things of such importance.
27:59You're disputing that Henri Derricourt was a double agent?
28:04Perhaps you could ask him yourself.
28:06I'm sure Miss Overton Fuller could direct you to him.
28:13Miss Atkins.
28:16What concerns me is that the SOE,
28:20that your superiors,
28:22that you,
28:23were sending women to fight
28:25in the full knowledge they had no chance to survive.
28:29Mrs. Ward,
28:31what did you do during the war?
28:34I served my constituents.
28:44Atkins.
28:45Atkins.
28:46Your mother's name, I believe.
28:50Your father's name,
28:53Rose.
28:55Rosenberg, if I'm not mistaken.
28:59And you're from Romania, originally.
29:04How did a young Romanian girl like yourself and...
29:07I'm so sorry, Mrs. Ward,
29:09but I have another meeting.
29:15Good day, Miss Atkins.
29:19See yourself out, please.
29:24After the meeting,
29:26Irene Ward digs into Vera's personal history,
29:29who she is,
29:30where she comes from,
29:32and what she really did at SOE.
29:40Irene Ward's digging
29:42threatens to reveal the story
29:44of the lost women spies.
29:47The security establishment
29:48goes into damage control.
29:52An academic called M.R.D. Foote
29:55at the University of Oxford
29:57is engaged to produce
29:59an official history of the SOE.
30:03M.R.D. Foote is ex-SAS.
30:06He also was captured in the war,
30:10and he was put in a prisoner of war camp in France.
30:12So he has all of this direct experience within the war,
30:15but he's also a historian.
30:16So he's got that authority as well.
30:18He understands how to write about history,
30:20and he understands
30:22that there are still some secrets
30:24that must stay secret.
30:27His exhaustive work concludes that...
30:30To the question of why people
30:32with so little training were sent
30:34to do such important work,
30:36the only reply is the work had to be done,
30:40and there was nobody else to send.
30:51Professor Foote.
30:53Before the book is published,
30:55Vera speaks to Foote
30:56and persuades him to omit
30:59her Romanian background
31:00from his history of SOE.
31:06So why does Vera hide who she really is?
31:10Because Vera is forced to cover up
31:13not just her public story
31:14and the lost women's spies,
31:16but also the private story
31:19of her family's life.
31:34It was a closely guarded secret at SOE
31:39that Vera was born in Romania
31:41rather than the UK.
31:46But that wasn't Vera's only secret.
31:58Vera was not born Vera Atkins,
32:03but Vera Rosenberg.
32:07Vera is one of three children
32:09of Max and Hilda Rosenberg,
32:12who are both German Jews.
32:16Just before the First World War,
32:17Max purchases an estate and woodmill
32:21in Bukovina,
32:22a region that will become part of Romania.
32:28But after Vera's father dies in 1932
32:32and with anti-Semitism in Europe on the rise,
32:35Vera and her two brothers
32:37move to the United Kingdom,
32:41where they take their English mother's surname
32:44of Atkins.
32:48Vera leaves behind in Romania
32:50an extended family.
32:53As the Nazis take hold of Europe,
32:56the family who stay are in mortal danger.
33:01The terror that people live with
33:03cannot be underestimated,
33:05even if they weren't actually at direct risk
33:08of being moved to concentration camps.
33:10This isn't just my family,
33:12this isn't just my aunt and my dad
33:14and my direct family,
33:15this is everybody with Jewish family
33:18who were living in the UK
33:19and England at the time
33:20were terrified about what was going to happen
33:22to their relatives.
33:23And I think everybody wanted to do
33:25whatever they could to help.
33:30According to a family story,
33:32Vera's family in the UK
33:33raise a large amount of money
33:35to help their European relatives.
33:40My dad, my uncle and Vera
33:42were very keen to provide any help they could.
33:45So they obviously found money
33:46and they found resources.
33:48But it was very clear that by this point
33:50to get money, to get resources,
33:51to get a logistical plan,
33:53you probably needed to go.
33:55You needed to leave England,
33:57you needed to get on a boat
33:58and you needed to go and practically help.
34:02Vera travels to Antwerp, Belgium, in 1940,
34:06just as the Nazis are about to invade.
34:17During the war,
34:18people would often store their wealth
34:20in something that could be more easily hidden
34:23and transported.
34:31Diamonds.
34:42For hundreds of years,
34:44Antwerp has been the centre
34:46the centre of the diamond trade in Europe.
34:50Vera is believed
34:51to have converted the money from the UK
34:54into diamonds for the family in Romania.
35:01But who are the relatives
35:03facing Nazi persecution
35:05that Vera wants to save?
35:17Fritz Rosenberg
35:18is Vera's cousin.
35:21Vera's relatives
35:22in the 1940s
35:23faced disaster.
35:30The region has been occupied
35:32by Hungary,
35:33an ally of Nazi Germany.
35:39Under new anti-Jewish laws,
35:42Fritz and his wife Karen
35:44lose their passports.
35:47They may even be deported
35:49to concentration camps.
35:53But without a passport,
35:55they are unable to escape
35:56to another country.
36:00This rise in anti-Semitism
36:02in the law
36:03is reflected in the population.
36:05They wouldn't be able
36:06to trust their neighbours.
36:08They wouldn't be able
36:08to trust that at any point
36:10they might be snatched away
36:12in the middle of the night.
36:13They could be put on a train
36:14and taken to God knows where.
36:16I mean,
36:16it must have been
36:16absolutely terrifying for them.
36:20Karen Rosenberg
36:21contacts a German family friend.
36:25someone who has good contacts
36:28with the Abwehr,
36:29German military intelligence.
36:36Karen is able to obtain
36:37Aryan passports
36:39issued by the Nazi government
36:40for her and Fritz.
36:45The Rosenbergs pay the Abwehr
36:47a large sum,
36:49about £150,000 in today's money,
36:52to get the prized passports.
36:57Money that could be the diamonds
36:59that Vera sources in Antwerp.
37:02Karen and Fritz
37:03are able to leave Romania.
37:07They are free,
37:09but it's a freedom
37:10that comes at a personal cost.
37:20Fritz and Karen
37:21relocate to the safety of Istanbul,
37:26where Vera's brother,
37:28Ralph Rosenberg, lives.
37:32The reason they go to Istanbul
37:34is because of a condition
37:36set by the Abwehr.
37:42Vera's brother
37:43is not only working
37:45for an oil company
37:46in Istanbul,
37:47but also supplying MI6
37:50with local intelligence.
37:56The Abwehr want Karen
37:58to give them valuable information
38:00about Ralph and MI6.
38:10Vera had almost certainly
38:13gone to Antwerp
38:14to raise the money
38:15for Fritz and Karen's passports,
38:18the very passports
38:20that allow the Abwehr
38:21to get close
38:22to an MI6 agent.
38:25Vera has paid the bribe.
38:27She's possibly met
38:30German intelligence officers
38:31face-to-face.
38:33Karen herself
38:34has had contact
38:36with a German intelligence officer
38:38who's asked her
38:39to work for the Germans.
38:41It's beginning to look
38:43really suspicious.
38:44Anyone looking
38:45at this situation
38:47is going to start
38:48throwing suspicion
38:49on Vera
38:50and on the Rosenbergs.
38:52Are they loyal?
38:53What's going on here?
38:55It's opening
38:56a Pandora's box.
38:59Had it been known
39:00by the SOE
39:01that Vera
39:02had handed over money
39:04to get Aryan passports
39:05from the Abwehr,
39:07it would have put Vera
39:08under serious suspicion
39:10of being a double agent.
39:15Instead,
39:16Vera keeps her family story
39:18a closely guarded secret.
39:21and when the British
39:22security services
39:23publish MRD Foote's
39:25history of the SOE,
39:28Vera has all mention
39:30of her Romanian family roots
39:32erased.
39:34But despite the security services'
39:37best attempts
39:38to cover up the story
39:39of the lost women spies,
39:42it's a story
39:43that just won't go away.
39:49After creating controversy
39:51with her book
39:52Double Webs,
39:53Jean Overton Fuller
39:55starts researching
39:56a new book.
39:57This time
39:58about Henri Derricor's
40:00relationship
40:01not with the Nazis
40:02but with MI6.
40:04The book is called
40:07The Checkered Spy
40:08and it claims Derricor
40:10wasn't just
40:11a double agent
40:12but that he was spying
40:14on the SOE
40:16on the orders
40:17of MI6.
40:20Derricor
40:21was MI6's mole
40:22at the heart
40:23of the SOE
40:25monitoring everything
40:26they were doing
40:27as MI6 believed
40:30that the SOE
40:31were incompetent.
40:35The suggestion
40:36is that members
40:38of the British
40:38security services
40:39knew that the women
40:41Vera trained
40:41like Noor Inayat Khan,
40:48like Violette Sabo,
40:51like Odette Sansom
40:53were being sent
40:54into the hands
40:55of a known
40:56double agent.
41:00But Henri Derricor
41:01never sees the day
41:03that the book
41:04is published.
41:32So bad it is, Dad.
41:34Boddington.
41:36Yes?
41:38It's Buckmaster.
41:40Good grief.
41:43Been a while.
41:44How are you?
41:47Good.
41:48Thanks, Bucks.
41:49You?
41:51Seen the news.
41:54Derricor's disappeared
41:56in the Far East.
41:57A plane he was flying
41:58carrying a cargo
41:59load of gold.
42:01I think the cause
42:02of the crash
42:03was fuel starvation.
42:07No.
42:08No, I haven't seen it.
42:10What does that mean?
42:15Any survivors?
42:17No.
42:18And they can't find
42:20Derricor's body.
42:24Wasn't Vera close
42:26to that man
42:26from the SAS?
42:28The sort of thing
42:29they're good at.
42:31Giving people a helping
42:32hand into the grave.
42:35I, uh,
42:36I wouldn't know.
42:38Vera and I
42:39don't speak.
42:42I think she works
42:43for the UN now.
42:45Well,
42:47if you hear anything.
42:50All that
42:52Derricor business
42:53was
42:55very unfortunate
42:58for everyone.
43:04It's best that he's gone.
43:06Dead men
43:08don't talk.
43:14Vera Atkins
43:15retires
43:16to the south coast
43:17of Britain
43:18moving to
43:19Winchelsea.
43:20She has a steady
43:22but discreet
43:23stream of visitors
43:24including
43:26Tanya Sabo
43:27the daughter
43:28of agent
43:28Violette Sabo.
43:42Now you see
43:43the George cross
43:44for mother.
43:50Odette Samson
43:51was the first
43:52ever woman
43:53to receive that.
43:58The French also
43:59gave mother
44:00the quadriguer.
44:03That was good
44:04of them.
44:09And Noor
44:10received both
44:11medals too.
44:15There's a memorial
44:16now at Dachau.
44:24And now you
44:26received your CBE.
44:28Finally.
44:29They took their time
44:30didn't they?
44:33Are you looking
44:34forward to the ceremony?
44:39We'll see
44:40won't we?
44:47I'll leave this here.
44:56I always
44:57drove them
44:58down to the
44:58aerodromes.
45:01It always
45:01seemed to be
45:02a summer's day.
45:04I saw them
45:05off.
45:08When the war
45:09ended
45:10and when they
45:10didn't come back
45:11I went looking
45:12for them all.
45:16Missing
45:16presumed dead
45:21is such a
45:22terrible epitaph
45:23for anyone.
45:29Can't believe
45:29my time
45:30has finally
45:30come.
45:32Been such
45:33a whirlwind.
45:36And yet
45:37the adventure
45:37is just
45:37about to start.
45:40Remember
45:41what they've
45:41taught you
45:42Noor.
45:44Yes
45:45Miss Atkins.
45:50There.
45:51You're
45:52clean.
45:56You're so
45:57smart
45:57Miss Atkins.
45:59You always
45:59wear the nicest
46:00things.
46:04Here.
46:06It's yours.
46:10May it bring
46:11you luck.
46:19Miss Atkins.
46:20Are you ready?
46:25Yes, Miss Atkins.
46:28Very good.
46:34Mysterio's
46:35tomorrow.
46:50Ah, man.
46:55Wait, I'll be here.
