Thank you sidevalve for so comprehensively telling us of Michou. We rightly celebrate our homegrown wartime heroes but this young girl's deeds must surely match those of any other. Standing outside a Nazi prison yelling a name until she is answered and then demanding the name of the betrayer, what was she thinking of? Certainly not of herself but rather of her colleagues and their aircrew charges. As Wander00 rightly comments, even by the standards of the wartime generation; such a sense of duty, such cold courage, such people indeed!

RIP Madame, you are an example to us all that tyranny must always be faced up to and never ever appeased.
