What an ill article. The Gestapo wasn´t lead by Fat-Man Hermann Göring after 1936 but by Heinrich Himmler, who was the chief of the entire Police, including the Gestapo.

Gestapo chief Hermann Göring This a history re-write? I always thought it was Himmler.

I was wondering the same. I would love to see a movie about Virginia Hall. How very cool.

She had many codenames - Diane, Camille, Marie, Philomene - but to the Gestapo she was simply the Limping Lady because of her wooden leg. Friends knew her as Peg....

Typically stupid reporter, but this is the kind of thing editors are paid to catch, so two black stars for the editor.

I would love to see a movie about Virginia Hall. Who do you think would be a good actress to play her?

If it's ill give it Pepto. If it's wrong, incorrect, in error, false or mistaken it may be re-edited to make it true.

I was thinking the same thing, however it would have to be cast outside of Hollywood, the current mindset does not hold this type of heroes to high esteem.

It´s wrong, incorrect, false, ok? But journalists probably just haven´t the time to care about details. After all, both (Göring and Himmler) were evil Nazis, right?
To: kiriath_jearim
After training in the clandestine arts of killing, communications and security, she went to Vichy France to set up resistance networks under the cover of being a reporter for the New York Post. Imagine that; posing as a journalist AND fighting on the side of the US. The perfect cover, IMO.
