European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)

Later on it worked even faster, because a comrade,

who had emigrated to London with her parents, got a new identity

and was infiltrated into Denmark where she got married to a Danish member of the resistance.

She applied at the German commandant’s office and nobody knew that she spoke Jewish.

She also spoke German, French, English and then she even learned Danish

and after that applied at the German commandant’s office.

Because she was perfect in type writing and shorthand she was taken on immediately.

Because of her capability and her linguistic knowledge it did not take long

and she was sitting in the outer office of the German general in command!

She had access to all the files.

Everything that went to the general or that came from the general, even if it came from the ‘Fuehrer’, went through her hands.

That naturally was a source.

As she had direct connection to London, the way was shorter.

The connection worked in no time.

It did not take six weeks any more, but took fourteen days or three weeks

until the message moved back and forth – coded, of course.
