The Lost Women Spies S01E04 (2025) [Full Movie] [High Quality]Full EP - Full
Transcript
00:07April 1945, the war is entering its brutal final stages.
00:17The Nazis are surrounded as the UK and US advance into Germany from the west
00:26and the Soviets lay siege to Berlin from the east.
00:33As the Allied forces sweep through Europe, liberating the citizens,
00:41they begin to uncover the horrors of Nazi concentration camps.
00:50In London, the Allied advance brings news for Vera Atkins
00:57as one of her lost women spies, Yvonne Bazden arrives back
01:04at Euston railway station, but many of her agents remain missing,
01:10presumed dead, like Violet Sabo, who left her one-year-old child to fight the Nazis,
01:20or headstrong Noor Inayat Khan, who many said was unsuitable to be an agent.
01:26Are you ready?
01:27Yes, Miss Atkins.
01:29Vera 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,
01:49the S.A.S., the S.A.S., and specialist Nazi hunter, Major Bill Barkworth.
02:00The S.A.S.
02:31It's the 28th of April 1945.
02:36The Ravensbrück concentration camp for women in northern Germany, 90 kilometres 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.
03:10Himmler 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.
03:37Fritz 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 labour programs that the women would be sent out into, the roundups for the executions, and also
03:53the medical experiments that were carried out at Ravensbrück.
03:56He would oversee those and have an understanding of what that meant.
04:01Move! Come on!
04:02Odette is about to see daylight for the first time in six months.
04:08But her life hangs in the balance.
04:12Come on!
04:14Come on!
04:16Come on!
04:21Come on!
04:21Surin flees the Soviet liberation of his camp, driving south of Berlin, towards the U.S. army line.
04:33As the Red Army and the Americans get closer to Ravensbrück, the commandant, Surin, panics, because at this point he
04:42knows he is going to get captured by one army or the other, and he's going to make that decision
04:49himself.
04:49He's going to pick a side, and so he goes for the Americans and the British.
04:53This is who he aims 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.
06:13Can you imagine what Surin would have thought, because immediately Odette announces that not only is she not Churchill's niece
06:20or any relation to him, but she's an SOE agent, and she just confesses everything, this key information that he's
06:27been after for ages.
06:27It 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, as 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.
08:08After 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.
08:53Into Germany.
08:56Karlsruhe.
08:58With other women.
09:02Karlsruhe.
09:05And finally, Ravensbrook.
09:29And finally, Ravensbrook.
09:32Karlsruhe.
09:34Karlsruhe.
09:34You said there were other women.
09:45Odette describes seven female agents that she remembers from Karlsruhe.
10:00It's an important lead for Vera.
10:08Nora Nirkhan was one of Vera's favorite agents.
10:12One of the people she seems to really have cared about.
10:15When she was in training, there was some question mark as to whether or not Nora was
10:18good enough for the 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,
10:27no, you're going to go and she'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.
10:53It's pretty, but 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
11:26Karlsruhe must have come as a real shock to her.
11:33To understand the dehumanizing process that they'd been put through right from their arrest
11:38and 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
11:53things already and just starting to unravel their stories and wondering what became of them after
12:00they left this prison at Karlsruhe.
12:06Thanks 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
12:25qualities here in her investigation.
12:34Vera has the prison in Karlsruhe in southern Germany as the last location for at least seven women.
12:45Vera also knows about the Ravensbruck women's concentration camp situated in north-eastern Germany.
12:54Ravensbruck was a concentration camp just north of Berlin and unlike every other concentration camp,
13:00it was for women. It was particularly horrifying for the sensibilities of people in the 1940s as well,
13:07where women are meant to be kept out of combat, out of war and treated with some level of humanity.
13:12Ravensbruck was a particular horrific site to end up in.
13:20It's from here that three agents, including Yvonne Bazden and Odette Sansom, have come back alive.
13:33Ravensbruck is also the last known location for young mother and widow, Violette Szabo.
13:47But there is one of Vera's agents that has not been spotted at either a prison or a camp,
13:55Nor Inayat Khan.
14:01There's a generally held sense that Nor, amongst the others, might be alive.
14:10And so she realizes, too, that there's a tremendous amount of pressure on her,
14:14that if she's going to find her missing agents, she's going to have to do it fast.
14:20Vera can't travel to Germany and continue her investigations due to her low rank.
14:26So 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.
14:39The S.A.S.
14:54The S.A.S., or Special Air Service, are an elite commando unit founded during the height of the war.
15:03The S.A.S. were formed in the North African desert,
15:06and the concept behind their kind of operations were these fast hit-and-run missions,
15:10and they were deploying in these Willis jeeps, which were very maneuverable and nimble,
15:14and they were heavily armed with mounted 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,
15:32the S.A.S. had destroyed 387 proven enemy warplane kills.
15:37That's a 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,
15:59that could be S.A.S., it could be commandos, it could be special operations executive agents,
16:03any of those captured behind the lines, whether in uniform or out of uniform,
16:08whether fighting or not fighting, whether trying to surrender or not,
16:12would be kept alive only for as long as it took the Gestapo and the S.S. to interrogate them
16:17and find out what they knew, and then they would be shot out of hand.
16:24In other words, murdered.
16:28And what that meant for the S.A.S. is if you were captured, it was a death sentence.
16:35Despite the order, the S.A.S. continue their raids,
16:39and are a key part of the Allied success in northern France that sees the Nazis defeated.
16:49With the end of the war, S.A.S. Major Bill Barkworth and a team are sent to Germany
16:55to hunt down the 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,
17:08and especially within Special Forces history.
17:11He's eccentric. He's single-minded. He's a maverick. He's a rule-breaker.
17:16He's one of those very, very archetypal individuals who can think the absolute unthinkable.
17:22But the other thing about Barkworth as well,
17:23which is key to how he develops as a character during the war,
17:27is he's got this unshakable moral compass.
17:30His sense of right and wrong is absolutely inflexible.
17:34He's got this one.
17:34He's got this one.
17:35He's got this one.
17:36He's got this one.
17:37Barkworth has commandeered a private villa, the Villa Degler,
17:43in Garganau, near Karlsruhe, on the edge of the Black Forest.
17:51And he is here on a special mission for the S.A.S.
17:59On the 12th of August 1944, an S.A.S. team was dropped behind enemy lines
18:05in the Vosges mountains of eastern France 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,
18:30the soldiers were taken to the woods, stripped, and shot.
18:38Such a loss of life would have a profound effect on everyone in the S.A.S.
18:45When you are serving in a unit like the S.A.S. in World War II,
18:49you forge these bonds of brotherhood with your fellow operators,
18:53which are extremely, extremely powerful and close.
18:56You read the accounts from people at the time, or you interview veterans,
18:59as I have, and you speak about those kind of relationships,
19:02they are very, very, very special.
19:05It's the kind of spirit that means you will lay down your life
19:09for your fellow brother-in-arms, and that's what so often happens.
19:20Barkworth is determined to find those responsible for the deaths of the 31 S.A.S. soldiers.
19:30Chief among them is Hans Kiefer, the head of the SD,
19:41the 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
20:15Nazi were doing in Paris. So he was responsible for the interrogation of what the agents and what the
20:21soldiers of the S.A.S. went through.
20:26He was a spider at the centre of the web, issuing all these orders for interrogating,
20:31and this is the man that they were desperate to find.
20:35But as the atrocities of Kiefer and other Nazis come to light,
20:39people back in the UK begin to ask some difficult questions.
20:52Vera receives a letter alerting her to the actions of Violette Sabo's father, Charles Bushell.
21:03Violette has a child called Tanya, and Bushell wants to know when the baby's mother will return.
21:33Violette Sabo's father, Charles Bushell is talking to his MP and giving interviews to the newspapers
21:38about his missing daughter.
21:43For Vera and the SOE, this could be a major problem.
21:49Vera is in a very difficult situation because suddenly the war's over,
21:54and these young women who've gone off to serve somewhere,
21:58and their families don't know anything about what they really did in the SOE, aren't coming home.
22:07Violette Sabo's father, who's been left with her infant daughter, is starting to ask questions,
22:12is 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.
22:21We 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
22:30of these young women who've just suddenly vanished.
22:35And Vera has another problem.
22:39She has a new boss.
22:43Head of SOE F Section, Maurice Buckmaster,
22:47has returned to his civilian role of public relations manager at the Ford Motor Company.
22:54He is replaced by new broom...
22:57Vera.
22:59Captain Norman Mott.
23:01Please, have a seat.
23:04A man who comes from the SOE security section,
23:08and whose main interest is in keeping things secret.
23:13But Mott 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
23:32or interrogate the heads 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, or any evidence of them is wiped out.
24:11So the timing is crucial, and 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
24:23and speed up the hunt for her missing spies.
24:29Letters from agents' relatives asking difficult questions puts pressure on the Home Office.
24:38And after months of lobbying, Vera gets her answer.
24:44Vera will be given the rank of Flight Officer in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force,
24:50allowing her to travel to Germany.
24:56But she is told that she has just four days to demonstrate she can get results.
25:14December 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,
25:36Vera 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,
25:52Clément Marc Jumeau, who is believed to have died of tuberculosis at a hospital north of Berlin.
25:59Many women were sent to Germany post-war,
26:01but mostly in secretarial roles or in a way to assist with the men of the armed forces,
26:07who were trying to reconcile Germany.
26:10But Vera was there in a totally different capacity.
26:12She had a mission that she wanted to fulfill.
26:20And although she was probably very nervous and had a sense of trepidation,
26:24she really had to mask that and to go forward with an air of confidence and to prove that she
26:31was the right person to uncover the stories of the missing agents.
26:34But Vera has a problem.
26:37But Vera has a problem.
26:37Jumeau'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 Buch, Vera is stopped by a Soviet sentry and her progress is halted.
27:18Vera is blocked from entering the Soviet zone.
27:26Vera is blocked from entering the Soviet zone.
27:33Vera is blocked from entering the Soviet zone.
27:34Vera is blocked from entering the Soviet zone.
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.
28:18Vera is able to continue her journey into the Soviet zone, thanks to her unexpected ability to speak Russian.
28:35Vera is able to continue to speak Russian.
28:36At the hospital, Vera questions the staff.
28:44And they direct her to the location of Jumeau'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.
29:02Now she can move on to the main reason for her journey, Ravensbrück.
29:16Ravensbrück.
29:20The women's camp.
29:2590 kilometers north of Berlin.
29:32Ravensbrück 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.
29:48Ravensbrück is of particular interest to Vera, because she interviewed Odette, who'd come out of Ravensbrück,
29:55who had told her about her agents who were there.
29:58So Ravensbrück 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.
30:10Ravensbrück 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 Block.
30:26Soeren holds the key to not just one, but possibly the lives of three of her agents.
30:34The pressure is on.
30:38Vera is 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,
31:20because 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.
31:39I have testimony that there were.
31:48Answer me!
31:53I have nothing else to say.
32:00Surin offers Vera nothing.
32:13Without any new evidence, Vera leaves Ravensbruck and returns to London empty-handed.
32:29Back in London, Vera gets some news that could prevent her from ever finding her agents.
32:35Have a read, please.
32:41She 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,
32:53and really nobody's very interested in what's happening to these agents of hers.
33:02There is no sense that there should be accounts from surviving agents,
33:08which is what we see from other military intelligence departments.
33:11So there's no accountability, there's no learning from the mistakes of the past.
33:18SOE was so embarrassed by some of its mistakes,
33:21that it was just going to hush everything up and close 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.
33:36They would remain missing, presumed dead.
33:41But for Vera, this wasn't acceptable.
33:43It 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
33:53that she had personally sent to France.
34:03What 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.
34:30A camp that has been liberated and filmed by US forces.
34:37Known as Natzweiler Struthof, the camp is hidden in the Vosges mountains of eastern France,
34:44close 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
35:19can be abducted at night and without trial taken to 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
35:45that has the most shocking impact on Vera's hunt for her lost women spies.
36:01Vera reads Barkworth's interrogation report of a former prisoner at Natzweiler,
36:08Franz Berg.
36:28Bergh tells Barkworth he worked in the crematorium as a stoker.
36:34One day in July 1944, Bergh and the other stokers are told to expect some English women.
36:46From 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
37:08and take 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.
37:35And they say later that one of the women was alive and had scratched one of the men who had
37:40come.
37:41And then they heard the crematorium doors being shut.
37:44And they knew it was all being fired up.
37:49After that, there's silence.
37:54It's horror at what these girls would have gone through.
37:58There is no way when they prepared them for their training,
38:01for the torture that might lie ahead, they 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.
38:28And they 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
39:29of the concentration camps. Because let's not forget that the public don't know that women were sent
39:36behind enemy lines. Whitehall would not want this highly secret organisation, the SOE, knowledge of it to
39:44come out. But even more sensitive and potentially a public outcry to hear that women had been dropped
39:52into these dangerous areas and that some of them hadn't come back and had been horrifically tortured.
40:00After seeing Berg's testimony, MI6 agreed 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 Ornhausen, which was the headquarters of the British Army on the Rhine.
40:55So it was a very important place. And 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. So with executions, with maltreatment of prisoners,
41:09with the concentration camp system in general. And the idea would not only be to find these officers,
41:15but also to find evidence about crimes against humanity that they had committed. So various murders or
41:23procedures 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. And her job would be
41:45to trace them as best she could. This was going to be exceptionally difficult for her,
41:50as the prisoners were classified as Nacht und Nabel, Night and Fog. So most records
41:55would technically have disappeared if they'd ever been kept in the first place. But her job was to trace
42:01them through the various prison systems that they'd been through, had 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 before they get to the camp at Natsweiler.
42:24And her attention turns to a witness who could hold the key.
42:28It's a name given to Vera by Odette Sansom.
42:33It is the chief warder of Karlsruhe prison, Fräulein Becker.
42:43Vera 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. She'd been identified
43:01in one of the affidavits of the surviving agents anyway, and Vera needed to go out and find her.
43:07Because as the chief wardress, she would have received all new prisoners coming into Karlsruhe.
43:12She would have met them personally, taken away their personal effects, made a record of what they were.
43:18But she would have also recorded their names. So 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, Vera discovers that Fräulein Becker hasn't even left her post
43:42as chief warder. Vera 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.
44:01When they arrived at Karlsruhe, they 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, a 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, not for politicals like them.
44:31They should never have been here.
44:44ベム?
44:46them?
45:07Yes.
45:11All of them.
45:16And they all left in July 1944?
45:21No.
45:23The one you mentioned, Odette.
45:25She left then.
45:27The others it was later in the year.
45:32So these seven in the photographs, they didn't leave in July?
45:36That's what I said.
45:38They left later.
45:41I need to see your records.
45:43Now please.
45:44We don't have any.
45:47I can't imagine that.
45:50The French.
45:52When they came they destroyed everything.
45:54Smashed it all up.
45:58All gone.
46:08Thank you, Fraulein Becker.
46:11I'm sure I'll see you again soon.
46:17Vera doesn't have the written records she needs as evidence, but she does have something
46:23more important.
46:25Becker's testimony directly contradicts the evidence of the crematorium stoker at Natsweiler,
46:31Franz Berg.
46:34Berg stated that four women are killed at the Natsweiler camp in July 1944.
46:41But Becker claims that, including Noor, seven of Vera's lost women spies are still in Karlsruhe
46:48prison later than July 1944.
46:52So those women could not have been the ones killed at Natsweiler.
46:57Vera already has an eyewitness testimony from Natsweiler saying that Noor is dead.
47:03And now she has another eyewitness testimony saying, no, that is not true, she is here.
47:08She needs some sort of corroborating evidence to prove where Noor is, one way or the other.
47:15Vera leaves Becker and Karlsruhe with the chance that some of her lost women spies could still
47:23be alive.
47:43Never.
48:13If you had an eyewitness testimony from Natsweiler, you would be able to do it.
48:13Never.
48:13Never.
48:13Never.
48:13Never.
48:13Never.
48:13You
