我报道了Virginia Hall的故事，她是二战期间为美国及其盟军效力的最勇敢、最成功的间谍之一。她出生于富裕家庭，学习过外语，曾在波兰、爱沙尼亚、奥地利和土耳其的美国大使馆工作。在土耳其，她遭遇了一场狩猎事故，导致腿部严重受伤，不得不截肢。但她并没有因此放弃，而是继续为盟军效力。二战爆发后，她在法国加入了军队，后来逃往英国，加入了一个秘密组织，帮助在被占领的欧洲地区组建军事队伍。她被派往法国，与法国抵抗运动建立联系，成功策划了许多盟军机组人员和德国囚犯的逃脱，拯救了许多生命。她还乔装打扮成农场工人，为美国战略情报局工作，报告德军的动向，组织抵抗组织。德国人称她是欧洲被占领地区最危险的敌人。她组织的抵抗战士取得了巨大成功，战争结束后，她被授予杰出服务十字勋章，成为战争中唯一一位获得此勋章的女性平民。她的故事展现了非凡的勇气和奉献精神。
