 | | Christine Granville, who was Polish-born, was awarded the George Medal, OBE and Croix de Guerre for her outstanding bravery working as an allied spy in Poland, Hungary and France. |
 | | In the annals of European resistance, Granville is known as Churchill's favourite spy because her information about a Nazi tank build-up on the Russian border supposedly enabled the war leader to warn his Soviet counterpart, Stalin, of an impending attack. |
 | | Christine risked her life to return to Poland three times, having to ski through mountain passes to re-enter her homeland. |
