Discover the remarkable life of Vera Atkins...
Vera Atkins is one of the many unsung heroes and heroines of World War II. She carried out her life with great care and due diligence, quietly becoming the perfect spy when no one was watching. Beneath her polished exterior was a mind built for strategy, secrecy, and survival. But Vera wasn’t just a spy—she was a Spymistress. That’s what her operatives in Britain’s military intelligence unit, the Special Operations Executive, called her.
To the countless agents dropped behind enemy lines in the tense lead-up to the D-Day invasion, she was a den mother, a protector, and a guide. It was Vera Atkins who ensured they were expertly trained, prepared, and ready for anything. She trained them, guided them, and sent them off on some of the most dangerous missions of the war—missions that helped pave the way for the Allied victory on D-Day. This is her life—this is her story.
