Noor…landed in France in June 1943 and worked for a resistance network in Paris, under the code name Madeleine.
She survived a wave of arrests among her SOE contacts but declined a chance to return to Britain. She was betrayed and captured by the Gestapo (Nazi political police) in October 1943, but resisted interrogation and gave no information away.
After two failed escape attempts from prison, Noor [Inayat Khan] was sent to Dachau concentration camp, where she was executed on 13 September 1944.
