In 1944, just weeks before D-Day, 23-year-old Phyllis Latour parachuted into Nazi-occupied France. To the enemy, she was only a harmless girl on a bicycle selling soap. In reality, she was a spy—trained in sabotage, code work, and stealth—risking her life every single day.

Hidden in her hair tie were silk codes, pinpricked with messages. She pedaled through villages, laughing with German soldiers, while secretly sending over 130 reports that guided Allied bombers and helped prepare the liberation of France.

After the war, she lived quietly as a mother of four. Only decades later did her children discover the truth: their mother had been one of the bravest agents of WWII.

In 2014, France honored her courage. In 2023, at 102, she passed away—leaving behind a legacy of resilience, ingenuity, and sacrifice.
