Une femme courageuse de la Résistance.

Has anyone else read of Marie Madelene Fourcade, a legal secretary who led a resistance and escape network in France where the codenames for operatives were animal names leading to the network being known as Noah's Ark? Hers was hedgehog, herison in French. When the Germans were looking for the leader of the network instead of looking for Mme. Fourcade they looked for an English woman named Harrison.

Pas de précipitation, ce qui a été en suspens depuis 1944.

I think I heard the name, then again, that's the kind of data that comes and goes away rather fast with me... she didn't get 1/4 of the media exposure the Aubracs had (are are likely to have for the next month or two until the elections are done and nobody wants to cash on the recently dead anymore)

I think the partisans were the most interesting aspect of the war at the "human" level. They had to hang it out there a lot more than the line grunts.
