Great video....I read about her when i lived in Sandown but was unaware she was held in my home town of Aylesbury.
Thank you for the kind words! 😊
An excellent well made documentary ! No clues as to how she was intending to pass the information on ?
Thank you! No idea though it was later found out that a German offensive called operation sealion was planned which envolved the invasion of the island, and was set to happen a month after Dorothy was caught. The operation though never went ahead. 👍
Well done great Story thoroughly entertaining thanks so much for the time and effort gone in to the research and making of the video! Brilliant
