"The chance meeting on the night train would lead Jeannie (pronounced 
Johnny) Rousseau to join Lamarque's operation and become one of the most 
effective -- if unheralded -- spies of World War II. Her precise reports on the 
German's secret military plans, particularly the development of the V-1 flying 
bombs and V-2 rockets, helped persuade Prime Minister Winston Churchill 
to bomb the test site at Peenemunde and blunted the impact of a terror 
weapon the Nazis had hoped would change the course of the war. Her 
exploits later landed her in three concentration camps, which she survived 
without ever disclosing the great secret she had stolen from the Germans."
