>From the front page of yesterday's Washington Post
"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."
