authoritative reports to the Resistance.
Some thought Baker’s fame would be an obstacle. The
Germans knew who she was, but they didn’t think she was smart
enough to work for the Resistance. So she could get information
from the Germans easily. This helped the Resistance and the
French army save lives and win the war.
Baker had a big impact on the Resistance’s work. She got
many awards for her help. When she died, the army had a special
ceremony to thank her again for her bravery.
