How One 17-Year-Old Girl’s “Silly” Idea Exposed Germany’s Hidden Spy Network

Описание: How One 17-Year-Old Girl’s “Silly” Idea Exposed Germany’s Hidden Spy Network in WW2

A foggy morning. A cramped British post office.
And a 17‑year‑old girl who thinks a postage stamp looks “wrong.”

This World War 2 story follows Margaret “Peggy” Thornton, a teenage postal clerk in Falmouth, England, whose sharp eyes and “silly” idea helped expose a hidden German spy network operating on British soil. While trained agents and generals searched for enemy signals, Peggy saw what no one else did—in ink color, tiny perforations, and a king’s face printed slightly off‑center.

In this cinematic, documentary‑style narration, you’ll discover:

How ordinary mail in WW2 carried secret German intelligence
How one British girl’s notes led to the capture of 11 enemy operatives
How a single altered letter saved an Allied convoy from waiting U‑boats
Why her role stayed secret for decades after World War 2 ended

You’ll hear about:

British counter‑intelligence methods in WW2
The use of counterfeit stamps and coded letters
A real‑life “escape story” of a convoy that never met the U‑boats sent to destroy it
