This woman is my partner's great aunt! She gets talked about a lot at family get togethers (as well she should, she was amazing). What gets me is that a relative wrote a "biography" about her that was full of inaccuracies. She (the "biographer") has been completely shunned by the rest of the family, and is genuinely a friggin wackadoo. Rest in power, Christine; we're keeping your story alive!

My dear wonderful late father was a US Army Lt./medic on Normandy (Omaha Beach, USA 104th Medical Battalion) on D-Day. (I revere and miss him terribly and am deeply grateful to all allied participants during this war.) Watching this left me on the edge of my brain. When strife hits, you see people's real natures rise to the top. What an amazing person is Christine and I say this in present tense because her mark is eternal.

Yes. I can't believe how poorly Christine was treated after all the contributions she made to the allied effort. Unfortunately they would've been many more like this. So many unrecognised allies that fought, from the front lines to spying. But Im always so grateful for their efforts.

She was demobilised in April 1945 in Cairo, receiving a severance pay of just £100 (the average annual salary was about £3,000 at the time) along with personal thanks from Winston Churchill…

@DanH-u3f Месяц назад

They should make a movie about her life.

@pluck263 14 дней назад

Her story makes me think of that movie with Brad Pitt and that french spy girl that he married who spied for the nazis

@johndillon5290 11 дней назад

Was thinking the same.

@anil42518 Месяц назад

SO SAD that she died like that, A HERO can be anyone & that she was R I P Christine.

'treated very very shabbily by the government'. Yes, haven't we seen a lot of that! (Thinking Alan Turin!)

Hey it’s back! It was “who killed Great Britain’s Greatest WW2 female spy?”

@Mallowolf Месяц назад

Oh, I like that title better. Thanks for the info!

@user-tt8xf9td6b Месяц назад

Yeah, I guess that the image of a dead body was just too much and sent the moderators to their safe room to color pictures of kittens.

God Bless Christine Granville. The inspiration of _true courage during times of serious conflict._ No sugarplums or unicorn fantasists 'inspire'.

@Assieaat69 Месяц назад

Im really enjoying the content but why is some of the footage blurred. Is there a way to see all of the footage?

@dizzylizzy7582 Месяц назад

It is probably still under copyright.

@girldaddividendinvestor Месяц назад

Yeah, not on RU-vid

@charliesmith_ Месяц назад

modern ruling, to 'protect' the 'squeamish and easily triggered'. smh

@rloperfido3817 Месяц назад

Soon all WW2 documentaries. Will just be one big big blur only audio.

@user-tt8xf9td6b Месяц назад

so I see that the shrinking violets that make up the staff of RU-vid were horrified that a corpse was shown in a crime scene photograph used in an EDUCATIONAL video. I guess that in their little fantasy world when people die they just politely disappear. I am glad that I caught this video the first time it was uploaded and when it disappeared I had a sneaking suspicion as to why which was confirmed by this iteration. Come on RU-vid! The world is not always a happy place of unicorns and fairy princesses!

RU-vid are sick with the woke mind virus. The same virus that did what you say in this video, and that also nerfed the 🔫 emoji. They know what’s best for us… allegedly. They censored true information during the cerveza sickness too. RU-vid are out of control with tyranny and violating free speech and freedom of information. The founders, and Reagan namely, are rolling in their graves that an American corporation, Alphabet, has co-opted such communist, Marxist, and Orwellian practices.

@fizzmoe9846 Месяц назад

It’s their platform. They can censor what and when they want

Just Googled it. Her eyes and mouth were open....too graphic for young ones to see maybe?

@poet.alhashimi Месяц назад

An incredibly brave and dynamic woman who managed to achieve feats that most people could not even imagine. The SS and Gestapo were a lunatic bunch of sadistic mass murderers; to take them on and outwit them takes true steel and courage. RIP.

Finally something new I’ve watch every single video that even mentions espionage in passing. 😂

when did TIMELINE start having censorship?????!!!!

@harbourdogNL 8 дней назад

To protect the delicate sensibilities of Millenials and Gen-zs...they have enough to worry about, you know, like if they lose a cell signal for a few minutes and can't google the answer to something, or have to make an actual decision, or uber eats is late.

@laszlovandor4770 Месяц назад

Interesting name that "Granville" is. I know of an OSS scumbag who took on that name as well.

@robynw6307 24 дня назад

Wikipedia says she was 44 (born 1908) when she died, not 37. Wonder which is correct.

why are historical photos censored?

@mohammedsaysrashid3587 Месяц назад

I think it was a 2nd time I saw 👀 this magnificent documentary during this summer season. Britain 🇬🇧 was not appreciated and thankful valued Polish volunteered to Britain armies and Britain intelligences against Nazism invaders of Poland 🇵🇱. Those (unknown warriors)heroes suffered strict poverty, neglecting, even British society imposed them to surrender themselves to communist Poland 🇵🇱 regime... rather than Poland armies in ( Habbania base, it was utilized against Iraq 🇮🇶 people from 1941-1958 ... those Polish heroes were the poverty pulling them down silently one after one...

Sounds like you don’t understand how RU-vid’s guidelines work. I’m sure, with 5M+ subscribers, you won’t be missed.

Sooooo at the end…. She walked away from her own grave? It sounds like she’s up to something tricky again…

My relatives were lucky to be refugees at that time. We were welcomed into the UK. If we were refugees now we probably wouldn't be so lucky sadly (or we'd be fine because we're the "right" ones according to those with prejudices - white and christian). I feel for those in that position today. I'm so sorry. There's no excuse (particularly when we had a role in creating the conflict in the first place). My husband's family certainly isn't so lucky. Why are my relatives more valuable than his (trust me. They're not.)
