"I always felt that people wouldn't believe me," Cohn said the other day at her home. "They would think it was tall tales."
"I have a sixth sense about danger," said Cohn, who now suffers from hearing loss and arthritis but is still active, working on her memoirs and refurbishing her bathroom. "It's why I'm still alive."

He was eventually sent to Washington as an assistant air attaché at the British embassy. Dahl was bored by the administrative details of his job, but became involved with C. S. Forester in composing what was essentially propaganda encouraging American enthusiasm for the war in Europe. Dahl also became the eyes and ears for prominent members of the British government, including Churchill, gathering intelligence usually involving the outlook and attitudes of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Dahl worked with another British intelligence officer, James Bond creator Ian Fleming.  After the war, he would begin his illustrious literary career, writing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 1964 and subsequently the screenplay for the James Bond film You Only Live Twice.

He fed wrong information to the Nazis. He even convinced them that a Mosquito Bomber Factory had been “destroyed”. Allies would be at Calais. As it turned out, the landings were in the beaches of Normandy. He was such a convincing Nazi that he was awarded an Iron Cross by the Germans.

She lost a sister at Auschwitz

On one of her spy missions at the age of 24, she crept across a field, under barbed wire, and entered into Nazi Germany to obtain vital information for the Allied projected advance into enemy territory in the year 1945.

She was born on April 13, 1920 in Metz , France. She currently resides in Palos Verdes Peninsula in California and wrote the book, Behind Enemy Lines. 

She never intended to become a spy, but when French recruiting army officials found out in the year 1944, a 4-foot 11 inch nurse could speak German, they immediately requested that she works for the French army in intelligence. 

When she was recruited, her cover/alias was that she was a Gdays of the war, German nurse searching for a missing fiancé. With her assumed cover, she then visited the German front lines in the closing days of the war, and became close after socially interacting with several German SS officers and ascertained their plans of the German army's reread as well as a counterattack in southern Germany that was being planned. 

She then had to cross across the border in enemy lines and got the information to French intelligence in time. She credits her survival on several of her missions and adventures with her sixth sense of danger. Cohn, who now suffers from hearing loss and arthritis, credits this profound skill for her survival on countless for the French army intelligence 

            Her birth name was Marthe Hoffnung grew up bilingual speaking German and French in the Lorraine region of France where her and her family resided in. Unfortunately, this region is extremely close to the German border. When neighboring Germany invaded, her younger sister Stephanie was arrested in killed in Auschwitz, while the rest of her family fled the now German territory while they still could to the southern territory that was still controlled by the Vichy government. Looking to pursue her career, Cohn enrolled herself in nursing school, learning skills that would one day save her life on the battlefield, while her brothers joined the French resistance. Her fiance, who also fought in the French resistance, was shot to death by the Germans in 1943 in Paris. When France was liberated by Allied forces in 1944, Cohn joined the French army.

After World War II, she served in Vietnam as a nurse working with the French army

How she became a spy. On a certain afternoon, Cohn recalls, a colonel with the French army asked her to answer his phones during his lunch break, and apologized that there was nothing for her to read in the meantime between calls. All of the books were in German in his office. Cohn recalls informing the French official that she could read German, and this was how her new career was born. French intelligence officers were currently looking for a woman who spoke German to enter Germany and do reconnaissance for vital Allied information pertaining to the Allies victory.  Cohn retells how she was not always the best operative on the field, and so after 14 failed attempts to cross the border, she finally manged to do it on her fifteen try.

Her Cover:

When she entered Germany, she maintained the cover of her being a German nurse and told the “lie” that she was looking for her finance, and so for the next three weeks on her mission, she traveled around southern Germany collecting information about the German plans, and compromising it. She later befriended an ailing SS officer and other German soldiers who later told her not to worry about her hysterical fit about her worries of the approaching American army, and the African fate of her fiance. They informed her not to worry, and they informed her the precise location the German army was waiting for the Allies in the Black Forest. This was her first breakthrough for compromising important German informing and relaying it to the French intelligence officials and army.
