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.
06:17SUNDAYMENT
06:19Scwarzhуда
06:42This one, she had the name Violet.
06:54And what happened to her?
06:59All three were taken to the crematorium building of the camp, and one by one they were shot.
07:15How do you know?
07:21I watched.
07:35Vera now has testimony that along with Violet, Lillian Rolf and Denise Block were executed at the Ravensbrück concentration camp
07:45north of Berlin.
07:49Vera must have been absolutely shocked to hear this information.
07:53She would have clung on to any last thread of hope that the women had survived the camp.
07:58As she heard of these women who she'd been so affectionate for, who she had really traveled across Europe and
08:05in dreadful conditions, trying to find out what happened to them.
08:08And finally, she has the evidence that these three women were murdered.
08:21Vera personally writes letters for the bereaved families.
08:25Each one detailing her search for these spies, missing, presumed dead.
08:32Vera would have felt shocked and upset.
08:35But to some extent, I think she might have also felt relief.
08:39She had closure on this story.
08:42And although it wasn't the end she would have wanted or hoped for, she was finally able to tell the
08:47families of these three women what had happened to them.
08:50And they were able to finally understand what their daughters, wives, children had gone through and what they had sacrificed
08:58for their country.
09:06Each letter has to be assessed by her superiors to make sure Vera doesn't give away any incriminating evidence.
09:17Vera is in a very difficult position because the fact that there were women agents is not yet common knowledge.
09:24They want to keep it out of the public eye because it's a very difficult thing to try and explain
09:28to families and acquaintances and loved ones that actually your daughter was sent into harm's way without protection,
09:36without the protection of the Geneva Convention or the Hague Convention, without the protection of the British government effectively,
09:42they were meant to be completely deniable if they were captured or caught or indeed killed.
09:52But there remain other spies who are unaccounted for.
09:56Like Noor Inayat Khan, who, with two other agents, was last seen at the Natzweiler camp in the mountains of
10:05eastern France.
10:08In a few months, the Natzweiler war crimes trial will start and Vera has been instructed to gather as much
10:15evidence as she can, but she can't do it alone.
10:24In the spring of 1946, Vera travels to Garganau, a small town near Karlsruhe.
10:43It's here she visits Major Bill Barkworth, at a property his SAS unit have commandeered, called the Villa Daigler.
10:53Vera Atkins, good to finally meet you.
10:56And you, sir.
10:58Yes.
11:01Backworth has offered Vera the chance to get a witness statement from a former Natzweiler prisoner,
11:08a man who worked as a crematorium stoker and is currently held captive in the cellars of the Villa,
11:15along with other prisoners rounded up by Backworth's Nazi hunter unit.
11:20His name is Franz Berg.
11:24Berg's testimony is key to whether Vera can get a conviction against those who ran the
11:30camp and may have murdered her women agents.
11:40The next women to be killed by injection.
11:48Rather than gassing, were two English and two French women.
12:04They were brought to the cells in the crematorium building one afternoon in July 1944.
12:25We, me and the other prisoners, could see through the fan light without standing up.
12:37We heard low voices.
12:42We heard noises of every breathing and low groaning.
12:49Next two women, we heard the same noises and regular groans, but the fourth.
12:58She resisted in the corridor.
13:03So, I heard her say, why?
13:06Okay.
13:08Okay.
13:09Okay.
13:10Okay.
13:20Okay.
13:24Okay.
13:27Okay.
13:29Okay.
13:38Okay.
13:44Okay.
13:46Okay.
13:48Okay.
13:53Good.
13:57Okay.
13:59Okay.
14:02Vera now has a witness statement that she can use at the upcoming Natsweiler war crimes trial.
14:10A testimony identifying that some of Vera's agents, including Noor, were killed at the camp.
14:18But even with Berg's testimony, this is only one man's recollection.
14:24Vera needs more evidence.
14:30Vera continues her preparation for the Natsweiler war crimes trial.
14:36Thanks to Barkworth, she now has Berg's testimony and other witness statements.
14:43But Vera lacks a critical piece of evidence if she wants to convict those who ran Natsweiler.
14:51Vera needed hard evidence.
14:54If she wants to bring those perpetrators to justice, she needs to gather enough of the hard evidence that will
15:03stand up in a court of law to actually bring them to justice.
15:08Vera needs documentary evidence.
15:11Something that ties those who ran the camp with her missing agents.
15:18So Vera tries to find documents that show which of her agents were murdered at Natsweiler.
15:26Four of her agents were sent there from Karlsruhe prison.
15:31Surely, Fräulein Becker, at Karlsruhe, would have kept records.
15:39I need to see your records. Now, please.
15:42We don't have any.
15:44I can't imagine that.
15:47The French.
15:49When they came, they destroyed everything.
15:51Smashed it all up.
15:56All gone.
15:59Fräulein Becker tells Vera that all the prison documents were destroyed by the French.
16:05Now, that reeks of a lie.
16:07Vera must have known she was lying.
16:09Why would the French go to a German prison and just randomly destroy all the records?
16:16But she's nowhere for finding out unless Fräulein Becker tells her the truth.
16:20And how is she going to get her to do that?
16:25Vera chooses to visit Becker again.
16:29This time, with the S.A.S.
16:41At Karlsruhe prison, Barkworth and Vera confront Fräulein 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 destroyed everything.
17:06They did.
17:06Why would they do that?
17:07I don't know!
17:09Because you lie!
17:12Mom!
17:15What do we have here, huh?
17:16I don't know.
17:21The records.
17:23You lie.
17:26Liar!
17:27Liar!
17:44The records.
17:44Vera and Barkworth go through the prison records.
17:49Every entry and exit from the prison is marked.
17:55Vera finds entries that on the 6th of July, 1944, four women agents are transferred from the prison at Karlsruhe
18:03to the concentration camp at Natsweiler.
18:10This corroborates what Berg told Vera about four agents who were killed at Natsweiler.
18:23Vera now has clear evidence that four women agents were murdered.
18:28The names are Andre Borel, Vera Lee, Diana Roden, and Sonja Olszineski.
18:42The fourth name, Sonja Olszineski, is unknown to Vera.
18:49Vera expected to see Noor's name or alias.
18:55Witnesses had identified Noor as traveling with this group to Natsweiler.
19:01Noor was born in Moscow, so a Russian-sounding alias could make sense.
19:09For Vera, Sonja Olszineski's entry, taken with other evidence, is actually for Noor in Ayat Khan.
19:19Vera has written evidence that four SOE women, including Noor in Ayat Khan,
19:26are transported from Karlsruhe to Natsweiler and most likely killed there.
19:32She can now take the evidence to trial.
19:40The 29th of May, 1946.
19:44The Natsweiler war crimes trial begins in Vorpital, in the west of Germany.
19:51The Natsweiler trial would have been so important to Vera,
19:54and it was her other chance to get information about the women,
19:58so she could provide that to the families and their close ones,
20:01but also to bring these men to justice.
20:06This was the most brutal execution, murder, in fact, of these women.
20:12It didn't need to be done in such a horrific manner, if at all.
20:17This will be a British-led trial,
20:19with Nazis tried on German soil, but under international law.
20:25A trial about one of the Nazis' specially hidden concentration camps
20:30in the mountains of France.
20:34Natsweiler isn't particularly well-known, but it was in microcosm
20:38the system of the concentration camps set up in Germany,
20:42and in this case in France.
20:43It was a camp of 22,000 deaths.
20:46Around 55,000 people went through Natsweiler,
20:50so relatively small compared to some of the other concentration camps in the Reich.
20:54But nevertheless, a system of tremendous brutality, slave labor,
20:59medical experimentation, oppression, violence, the capo system,
21:03a terrible, terrible place.
21:08But before the trial starts,
21:11Vera receives a blunt instruction from her new boss, Norman Mott.
21:18Vera, everything, and I mean everything,
21:22has been done in London to keep this disgusting business out of the newspapers.
21:28I need you to ensure that the press's interest is discouraged.
21:33And to our reputations, any good?
21:37I understand.
21:42I suggest you start by getting the names of the dead withheld from the trial.
21:51Their families won't like it, Norman.
21:55They want to know what happened.
22:00Too bad.
22:02It's a disgusting business, which is best buried.
22:09Have you got a match?
22:13No.
22:15Yeah.
22:17Jim.
22:24The Natsweiler trial would have been a troubling time for Vera,
22:28not only because of hearing the dreadful incidences and details of what had happened,
22:34but also that SOE was still a secretive organisation.
22:36People were not aware that women had been sent into the fields
22:40in violation of the Geneva Convention.
22:46And she probably worried not only if their names got out into the press
22:50what had happened to them,
22:51but there was questions to be start to raise about who had sent them,
22:55why had they sent them,
22:56why had this been allowed to happen.
23:01After four days of hearings,
23:03the verdicts are delivered to the accused.
23:15Werner Roder, the medical officer who injected the women,
23:18is given a death sentence.
23:28Peter Straub, SS officer in charge of the executions,
23:33is given 13 years in prison.
23:36Later that year, he is given a death sentence.
23:41Fritz Hardenstein, the commandant of Natsweiler,
23:44is imprisoned for life.
23:48The verdict of the Natsweiler trial was that the three men
23:51who were on trial for the murder of these SOE women
23:55were all found guilty.
23:56So, in some respects, that's a very positive outcome.
24:00She had proved that this murder was unlawful,
24:03this execution, as they called it.
24:05But then the sentences may have been a bittersweet moment,
24:09did Vera want an eye for an eye at this point?
24:11Did she want to see these men suffer and pay the ultimate price?
24:15Or was she just happy to have received the guilty verdict?
24:18She was a very straightforward woman,
24:20and I think she would have been just pleased
24:23to have seen these men go down for what they'd done.
24:29Vera secures the agreement of the court
24:31that the names of the dead will be withheld from publication.
24:36Thanks to Vera's work,
24:38the trial fails to create Mott's much-feared newspaper sensation.
24:44Vera's role in the affair remains out of the public eye.
24:49For now.
24:57Vera turns her attention to her final three women spies
25:02from Karlsruhe,
25:03who are unaccounted for.
25:06Yolande Beekman,
25:08Eliane Plumann,
25:09and Madeleine Damermont.
25:16Vera comes across an interrogation statement
25:19taken by American investigators
25:21of Gestapo soldiers stationed in the town of Karlsruhe.
25:34One soldier, Max Vassmer,
25:37recalls transporting women prisoners
25:40from Karlsruhe
25:41to Dachau concentration camp.
25:46The ranks of three of the women
25:48match those of Vera's unaccounted agents.
25:53And Vassmer's detailed description
25:55of one woman
25:56matches Madeleine Damermont.
26:03At Dachau,
26:05Vassmer reportedly tells his colleagues
26:07that he pronounced the death sentence on the women
26:11and that they were then killed.
26:16But can Vera be sure?
26:20Other Gestapo soldiers
26:22claim there were four women,
26:24not three,
26:25like Vassmer says.
26:26They also claim
26:28that one of the women
26:29came from a completely different prison
26:31called Pforzheim,
26:33not Karlsruhe,
26:34as Vassmer states.
26:36One of the problems that Vera has,
26:38and indeed all of the people involved
26:40in the war crimes trials have,
26:42is the veracity of the witnesses.
26:44Because when she got testimony
26:46or drawings
26:48or verification
26:49from her own side,
26:52her own agents
26:53or people who were also in the camps
26:54and said they saw three women
26:56or four women
26:57who came into the camp,
26:59she can believe them.
27:00They may not remember everything,
27:01but at least she knows
27:03that they're being honest.
27:04But when you're relying
27:05on the testimony
27:06of an SS officer
27:07or a capo
27:08who's worked in the camp,
27:10they're also self-interested.
27:11They also want
27:12to exonerate themselves.
27:13And so it's very difficult often
27:15to know
27:15if they're telling the truth.
27:17And so even though
27:18she gets the Vassmer testimony
27:20and she thinks
27:21she's got some solid information
27:23about what's happened
27:23to her final three agents,
27:25she can't really be sure,
27:27particularly when then
27:28she gets contradictory evidence.
27:31Can Vera trust
27:32Vassmer's testimony
27:33in the report?
27:35Vera has to find Vassmer
27:38and interrogate him herself.
27:45August, 1946.
27:49After months of searching,
27:51Vera tracks Vassmer down
27:53to internment camp number 74
27:55in Ludwigsberg, Germany.
28:01Vera is the only one
28:03who knows all three SOE agents.
28:05She knows them intimately
28:07and Max Vassmer says
28:09that he thinks
28:10he's identified them.
28:11Now, this is a huge big deal
28:12because Vera can actually
28:13get the man in front of her
28:15and determine
28:16whether these women
28:17were different women
28:19or were her agents.
28:20And, you know,
28:21being there
28:22and able to speak
28:22to somebody about it
28:23where you know,
28:25you know,
28:25if you show somebody
28:25a photograph,
28:26you know whether they go,
28:27that's definitely the person
28:28or I think that's the person.
28:30And it's all to do
28:31with intonation.
28:31It's all to do
28:32with being in the same room
28:33as someone.
28:34So for Vera,
28:35being in the same room
28:35as Max Vassmer
28:36is really important
28:38so that she
28:38can interrogate him.
28:41Your name is Max Vassmer,
28:43correct?
28:46Yes.
28:49And you transported women
28:51from Karlsruhe Prison
28:52to Dachau,
28:53correct?
29:11Yes.
29:15And then you watched
29:16as they were shot,
29:18correct?
29:21No.
29:23I handed them over
29:24to the guards.
29:26This report clearly states
29:28that witnesses
29:29saw you take the women
29:30to be shot.
29:34Well, I was there,
29:35yes.
29:37I wasn't present
29:39at the end.
29:42The guards took the women in,
29:44not me.
29:46We just,
29:48we just did transport.
29:52Then how did others know
29:54that four women
29:55were killed?
29:56Three.
29:58The report says
29:59four women.
30:02It was three.
30:05How can you be so sure?
30:07Because they gave me
30:08a receipt.
30:12A what?
30:16The next day,
30:18the guards gave me
30:19a receipt
30:19for three women spies
30:21shot dead.
30:23We needed it
30:24for bookkeeping
30:25back at Karlsruhe.
30:32Shall I describe
30:33them for you?
30:39Three women.
30:40Vastma provides
30:42descriptions
30:42of three women
30:44transferred from Karlsruhe
30:46to Dachau
30:47that match
30:48Vera's records
30:48of three SOE
30:50women.
30:51Vera has sufficient
30:52proof
30:53that her SOE
30:54agents,
30:55Jolande Beekmann,
30:57Eliane Plumann
30:58and Madeleine
31:00Darmamont
31:00are killed
31:02at Dachau.
31:05Vera,
31:06after interviewing
31:07Max Vastma,
31:08now has everybody
31:09accounted for.
31:10She knows
31:11exactly where
31:12all of her agents
31:13ended up
31:14and there must have
31:15been a sort of
31:16wonderful sense
31:16of completion
31:17but also
31:17this sort of
31:18tragic pang
31:19of knowing
31:20that there's
31:21nobody left
31:22to be saved
31:23and just the
31:23horrific nature
31:24of their deaths.
31:25It must have been
31:26absolutely awful.
31:34Vera now believes
31:36she has sufficient
31:37evidence
31:38to account
31:39for every one
31:39of her lost
31:40women spies
31:41alive
31:42or dead.
31:46She writes up
31:47a report
31:48for London
31:48closing the case.
31:52Of the 39
31:53women
31:54Vera sent
31:55to war,
31:5627
31:57returned
31:58alive.
32:00Many after
32:01sustained
32:02torture.
32:07Twelve
32:08lose their
32:09lives
32:09at the hands
32:10of the Nazis.
32:17She encloses
32:18draft letters
32:19to be sent
32:20to the women's
32:20next of kin.
32:22Details of their
32:23names to be
32:24completed
32:24in London.
32:28It is with
32:29the deepest regret
32:30that I have to
32:31inform you
32:31that your daughter
32:32was killed
32:33in the early
32:34hours of the
32:3513th of September
32:361944
32:37in the camp
32:39of Dachau.
32:40According to
32:41what is believed
32:42to be a reliable
32:43report,
32:44she was shot
32:45through the
32:45back of the
32:46head
32:46and death
32:47was immediate.
32:49The body
32:49was cremated
32:50in the camp
32:51crematorium.
32:53Vera does
32:54succeed
32:55in discovering
32:56the fate
32:57of the 12
32:58missing
32:58women agents
32:59and in that
33:01sense there
33:02is closure
33:02for her.
33:04She has succeeded
33:05in discovering
33:06what's happened
33:06to all of them
33:07but also
33:08it means
33:09that she
33:09can write
33:10to the
33:10families
33:11and personally
33:12tell them
33:13what's happened
33:14and she
33:15carries that
33:16for the rest
33:16of her life.
33:18What you
33:18find later
33:19in life
33:19is some
33:20of the
33:20children
33:21of the
33:22agents
33:23who died
33:23in action
33:24actually seek
33:24her out.
33:25They travel
33:25from across
33:26the world
33:26because she's
33:28the one
33:28tangible
33:29physical link
33:31with those
33:32agents
33:33and so
33:34she assumes
33:34a really
33:35important role
33:36not only
33:37immediately
33:38after
33:39investigations
33:40but for
33:41the rest
33:41of her life
33:42she's the one
33:43that carries
33:44their memory.
33:49Vera has
33:50finally uncovered
33:51the fate
33:51of her missing
33:52women
33:53and prepares
33:54to leave
33:55Germany.
34:00with this
34:01part of her
34:02mission over
34:02Vera will
34:04return to
34:04England.
34:13Now
34:13she must answer
34:15the hardest
34:16question
34:18how did
34:20it all
34:20go so
34:21wrong?
34:33Vera must
34:34now uncover
34:35why so
34:36many of her
34:37agents were
34:37captured
34:38and how
34:39the Nazi
34:40intelligence
34:40service
34:41seemed to
34:42infiltrate
34:43SOE's
34:43agent networks
34:44so successfully.
34:46When Vera
34:47returns to
34:48England
34:48there's a
34:49niggling
34:50doubt
34:50in her
34:50mind
34:51that
34:52perhaps
34:52they
34:53have
34:53been
34:54betrayed
34:54she
34:55has
34:55been
34:55betrayed
34:56perhaps
34:57there
34:57was
34:57a
34:58spy
34:58within
