Using oral history, as well as information gleaned from auto/biographies and SOE reports, it is argued that many female captives resorted to gender stereotypes by ‘playing the daft lassie’, that they experienced punishment with distinct sexist and sexual overtones and that gender was significant in their accounts of incarceration within concentration camps.

The British nationals recruited by the SOE’s F section had, as a result of their upbringing, developed a French ‘habitus’ (linguistic skills, mannerisms and knowledge of customs) that enabled them to conceal their British paramilitary identities and ‘pass’ as French civilians. The article examines the diverse ways in which individuals attempted to construct French identities linguistically (through accent and use of vocabulary, slang and swear words), visually (through their physical appearance and clothing) and performatively (by behaving in particular ways).

  • SOE in France: an Account of the Work of the British Special Operations Executive in France: 1940–1944
    ii SOE IN FRANCE WHITEHALL HISTORIES: GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HISTORY SERIES ISSN: 1474-8398 The Government Official History series began in 1919 with wartime histories, and the peace- time series was inaugurated in 1966 by Harold Wilson. The aim of the series is to produce major histories in their own right, compiled by historians eminent in the field, who are afforded free access to all relevant material in the official archives. The Histories also provide a trusted secondary source for other historians and researchers while the official records are still closed under the 30-year rule laid down in the Public Records Act (PRA). The main criteria for selection of topics are that the histories should record important episodes or themes of British history while the official records can still be supplemented by the recollections of key players; and that they should be of general interest, and, preferably, involve the records of more than one government department.

  • Women Spies in World War II
    Leigh Concessi Professor Jeffrey Burds Honors Thesis Women Spies in World War II During World War II, the Allied nations enlisted hundreds of women as espionage agents. Women were ideal agents to drop into enemy-occupied territory: the Nazis did not consider women capable of such work, and women could move around during the day much easier than male agents could. Many of these women were subjected to torture and intense interrogation, just as their male counterparts were; some even gave their lives for the Allied cause. After the war, the stories of these brave women became known to the general public; their sacrifices were celebrated, and they were adored by the media. They were even the subject of news articles, books, and films.1 This paper will discuss the actions of women who worked with the United States’ Office of Strategic Services and Britain’s Special Operations Executive. Although many women were able to provide vital support for their respective nations while staying within their expected gender roles (as secretaries or translators), few were able to break free of the stereotypes of the time to do dangerous espionage work abroad. This paper will focus specifically on three women espionage agents who worked for the SOE in France: Violette Szabo, Noor Inayat-Khan and Odette Sansom. These women exemplified loyalty and bravery under the most trying circumstances. Despite the heroic deeds of these women, the agency that employed them, the 1 There are two excellent studies of women spies in World War II: Rita Kramer, Flames in the Field: The Story of Four SOE Agents in Occupied France (New York: Penguin Books, 1995); and Elizabeth P.

Joseph's original surname had been Naviprutsky, but this was changed when they immi? grated.1 He was one of thirteen brothers and sisters, most of whom stayed on the Continent and perished in theHolocaust. Two younger brothers, however, escaped with the Polish army in 1939 and eventually reached Israel where their families still live.2 The Newmans were married at New Briggate Synagogue, Leeds, on 11 June 1912, prior to which Joseph had been living at 8 Gledhow Terrace and Tilly at 22Whitelock Street.3 Both were tailors and pressers. They lived at 11Kepler Street (or Grove),4 Leeds, at the time of Isidore's birth.5 Isidore was the middle of three brothers. The older was Benny (Bernard), born in 1914,6 who, although extremely clever, developed acute mental illness as a young man (he had to leave school in the sixth form having shown great promise) and was in and out of institutions much of his life.7He died inHull at some time in the 1970s or 80s. The other brother, Montague, seventeen months younger, was slightly physically disabled. He eventually became a medical technician in the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle, married a non-Jewish woman and appears to have lost touch with the family after Joseph and Tilly died.

    Henri Noguères et Marcel Degliame-Fouché (Photo Martine Beck) Dans la nuit de l'occupation, des hommes et des femmes ont lutté, sur le sol de France, pour sauver l'hon- neur, harceler l'ennemi, éliminer les traîtres. Voici l'histoire de ces « sou- tiers de la gloire », comme disait Pierre Brossolette. Voici, reconstituées de mois en mois, ces quatre années telles que les ont vécues les volon- taires des mouvements de résistance ou des réseaux, les envoyés de la France Libre ou les agents des ser- vices alliés opérant en France. Des quelques rares irréductibles de juin 1940 aux bataillons de maquisards de la Libération, de l'inexpérience des premiers temps à l'organisation pro- gressive de la Résistance, de la pre- mière liaison radio et du premier parachutage aux transmissions cou- vrant tout le pays et aux opérations aériennes revenant à chaque lune, du premier bulletin calligraphié aux journaux clandestins tirés à des cen- taines de milliers d'exemplaires, du premier attentat aux plus spectacu- laires sabotages, cette reconstitution minutieuse se fonde sur des témoi- gnages pour la plupart inédits, recueillis au cours d'une enquête qui a duré plus de six années.
