Who was Madeleine?

Madeleine, whose real name was Noor Inayat Kahn volunteered for the RAF. She was used as a radio operator for a guerrilla network and was sent to France. Several days before Madeleine's departed for France, Bletchley had been told to suspend the air operations by the French groups because of German security forces in the area, but they maintained the operations. Madeleine was flown into France and traveled by train to Paris, where she made her contact. Soon after her arrival, the entire PROSPER network was arrested. The only one who wasn't was Madeleine. She was told to leave Paris but refused because she was the only radio operator there. She continued her transmission until she was captured in October and died in the Dachau Camp on September 12, 1944. She was one of the few agents to be awarded the George Cross.
