She Was The Real Indiana Jones- Part Two

- I went there to look for the refugees, the blind, deaf ... As I stood there the war suddenly happened - she says.

That morning was not the only ne when she was very close to the death. She spent a huge part of the war in North Africa.

Once, while she slept in the desert, she heard German voices.

- I was so frightened that I started to sweat so the send stuck to my body - she says.

Fortunately, the man passed and he did not notice her.

However, not only the Germans chased her in these war days. Neither Romanians were not too big fans of her work during the war years. She admitted that it was only then when she used the feminine tactics to avoid arrest.

Realizing that the enemy is at the door, she just came out of the tub, took off her clothes off, knowing that they will not expel her from the building if she is naked.

Versions

Postwar Polish secret service believed that she worked in the country as MI6 before the war.

On the other hand, she was the subject of investigation by the British security service known as MI5, because they believed that she help the Communists.

While she lived in Cairo, just after World War II, she lived next to a double agent Donald McLean and his wife Melinda. She also knew Kim Philby, which was known as the “third man”.

Although she told later that she never had a high opinion on him, it turned out that she supposed to be at the joint dinner with this mysterious spy.

Philby never came: it was the night when he fled to Russia in a way that he replaced tickets with a drunken sailor.

He was never seen again, and there was no hint of where he went, until she spotted a photo of Russian ship that sailed from Lebanon that night when Philby disappeared.

Popularity

That was enough for her to write another marvelous story, but the "Guardian" refused to publish it. However, the story was published later, but only a short version.

It, however, caused a storm, and veteran journalist William Ever wrote: "For the first time in history Daily Express leads with what the Guardian yesterday released."

The government has finally admitted that Philby defected in July. Ironically, Philby also was one of those who investigated her connection with the communists.
