History Happy Hour Episode 285 – Spying in Germany

Guest: Helen Fry

The White Lady

This week on History Happy Hour: During WWI, The White Lady network helped Britain by acting as couriers, radio operators and spies to facilitate the end of German control. And, when war broke out again two decades later, the leaders of the network regrouped and established a successor: The Clarence Service.

We will talk with HHH Alum Helen Fry to chart the history of these pivotal intelligence networks from her latest book, The White Lady.

Sunday at 4PM ET on History Happy Hour, where history is always on tap.
