She Knitted In Front Of Nazi Soldiers — But She Was Actually Coding Their Destruction

Описание: The Teenager Who Killed 100 Nazis With A BOWL OF SOUP

Phyllis Latour was the Gestapo’s worst nightmare: a spy who hid in plain sight.
While other agents carried complex radios or hidden weapons, Phyllis carried a knitting bag. To the German soldiers occupying Normandy, she was just "Paulette," a chatty, slightly annoying teenage girl who sold soap and knitted scarves in the park.

But every stitch in her wool was a coded message.

Using a forgotten spycraft technique involving a single thread of silk yarn hidden in her hair tie, Phyllis Latour (Codename: Genevieve) smuggled 135 crucial military secrets right under the noses of the SS. She chatted with the enemy while literally knitting their destruction.

In this video, we uncover the incredible true story of the "Knitting Spy": 🧶 The genius "Silk Yarn" coding method that baffled German intelligence. 🧶 How she survived a terrifying strip-search by the Gestapo without blowing her cover. 🧶 Her vital role in preparing the ground for the D-Day landings. 🧶 Why she refused to speak about her war service for decades.

"The soldiers saw a girl with needles. They should have seen a weapon."
