Chambers of the Deep Dr Hurtak's Project note March 9 2009 Post Continuation





























http://www.galactic.to/rune/vril1.html








































The "Chambers of the Deep" Project of Dr Hurtak explored the chambers underneath the Great Pyramid of Giza and unearthed a once (if not now?) superior civilization ,the vestiges of Atlantis which was decimated and referred to by Plato and Francis Bacon, Many believe that this civilization was (as was Atlantis) settled by Extra Terrestrials as they also visited parts of South America as reported in sightings by indigenous peoples . These events are so inconceivable and fanciful as to be entirely true accounts, and that I state only in the realm of possibility. These have been guarded secrets (now published evidently) of the Thule and Vril organizations which were operated by the Nazis and explained below during WWII and taken over as highly secretive thereafter by the Allies. Note the reference to the school of Pythagoras and my allusion in another post I made to its destruction. I do not think I will publish this to the Blog yet as I really know not if this is a hoax or true, but the fanciful nature of these statements seem credible, though I do not know. I will keep this in abeyance . I still am not assured of the theses of extraterrestrial visitations kept at bay from the public, and hidden, The arguments made are very persuasive and the explorations of the recesses under the great pyramid of Giza are still not detailed to the public but are on the worldwide web for any to gather, so I will publish this post.

(some words
translated to norwegian)
Why they - the world leaders and the military -
keeps secret of the ufos.
Page 22:
"Almost all the secrets have to do with
the past of our planet, the history and the origin of humanity (how and where?),
the reason for our being here, the so-called UFOs and the consequences thereof
(UFOs = Unknown Flying Objects, the common name for flying devices with two
counter-rotating magnetic fields, mostly cigar- or saucer-shaped and of
terrestrial or extraterrestrial origin).
I presume that the word UFO is not
welcome to some. That is why it is so important to be open for new things! And
the subject of UFOs is not new, on the contrary. People in Europe have been just
as misinformed as everyone else upon this Earth where UFOs are concerned. And
that again has to do with the Illuminati who control the media!
Especially
here in Germany. I would like to give here an example to show just how real and
earthly the background to this phenomenon can be:
Beside the
"THULE-GESELLSCHAFT" (Thule Society) which will be described in detail later,
there was another secret order in the Third Reich, the "VRIL-GESELLSCHAFT". This was mainly occupied with the building of
UFOs. They had, next to Viktor Schauberger and Dr. W. 0. Schumann, also
Schriever, Habermohl, Miethe, Epp and Belluzo working for them, whose
developments will perhaps be remembered by the British and American pilots still
alive as "Foo Fighters".
Their developments was greatly accelerated
after according to them - an "extraterrestrial" saucer went down in the Black
Forest in 1936 and was hardly damaged. After having scrupulously studied the
drive and having joined the findings to the already enormous body of know-ledge
of the "Vril-Gesellschaft" about implosion and antigravity - they started to
build their own prototypes. Developments like the "vril-7" (V7), a disc-shaped
supersonic helicopter (not to be confounded with the V1 and V2 cruise missiles)
were so astounding that today's stealth bombers look like toys in
comparison.

The Vril-7 developed by Richard Miethe for
example and equipped with twelve BMW 028 turbo-units reached in a test flight in
Peenemunde on February 14, 1944 in vertical take-off the height of 24,200 metres
and in horizontal flight a speed of 2,200 km/h. By the end of 1942 several units
of the circular aircraft RFZ 6 with the name "Haunebu II" had already been
built. It had a diameter of 32 metres and a height at the central axis of 11
metres and near the ground it reached a speed of over 6,000 km/h. It had an
operational range of 55 hours, took off vertically and could fly horizontally,
vertically and - most importantly - manoeuvre at right angles (a movement
typical of all the UFOs observed all over the world).
(No - all this is not
imagination - just watch the videoproduction UFOs -SECRETS OF THE THIRD REICH
and also the confirmations from the ET-group from Erra - the contacts of
BillyMeier. R.Ă˜.remark)
Later Vril developments were even more successful, as
early as the beginning of 1945 they succeeded in flying around the globe in a
few hours. A large-capacity version of the Haunebu II had a dia-meter of 120
metres and had integrated sleeping quarters. Just think why one would need
sleeping quarters if one could fly around the world in a few hours? (More about
the 'Vril-Gesellschaft" and its developments in the chapter named
accordingly).
Many will now ask: "Why did Hitler not win the war if he had
technologies like these at his disposal?" The reason is that although a large
number of these flying disks showed incredible performance, yet they were well
high unusable in a military context. The reason was that the magnetic field
produced by the levitation drive acted like a protective shield around the craft
and, while it rendered it almost impossible to shoot down, was almost impossible
for the conventional" weapons carried to penetrate without "friction".
The
projects were under the supervision of the "Vril-Gesellschaft" and of the SS E
IV (Secret IDevelopment Centre for Alternative Energy of the SS), i.e. they were
not directly under Hitler's and the NSDAP's orders and basically were not
planned for war use. Only later when Germany's situation deteriorated did one
think about using the flying disks in the war.
Another reason is that most
people have no idea what Hitler's real aims were, where he had been educated, of
which lodges he was a member, whose ideology he adopted, who put him in his
position, who financed him and what reasons there were behind the Second World
War. Hitler's ideology had nothing to do with what we call today the "general
reality" and with what is told about the Third Reich in schoolbooks. Hitler was
a mystic and an occultist down to his shoes, and to understand what happened in
the Third Reich one has to look at it from this viewpoint, too.
To most
"materialists" among the historians, the Nuremberg Trials were a mixture of
Grimm's fairy tales and stories from the mentally sick, because they were unable
to think themselves into the roles of the defendants, nor had they the necessary
knowledge to understand the stories these people told. Dieter Ruggeberg puts
this very aptly: "Only an occultist can recognize an occultist!"
The chapters
about the "Thule-Gesellschaft" and the Vril-Gesellschaft" will explain the
ideology of these people in more detail. Hitler and his secret societies knew a
lot more about the origin of humanity, the structure of the Earth, antigravity
and "free energy" than we are taught today. That is also why all writings and
books that could divulge this knowledge were removed or banned by the Allies, to
ensure that humanity will remain easily manipulated.
The Allies' main interest were the technologies of the
Vril-Gesellschaft". These were the best-kept secrets of the Third Reich. The
Russian got their hands on the construction designs first, the scientists like
Viktor Schauberger and Wernher von Braun became - in the operation "Paperclip" -
the prey (bytte) of the Americans. The resulting developments of flying machines
are under the highest security rating of the U.S. of A. They were also the
reason why J. F. Kennedy had to die (see the chapter "The Kennedy
Assassination").
There were though quite different experiments conducted in
the Third Reich which would all but destroy the views of the world so far
erected by the readers if given here. Therefore they will later be treated
separately.
Why have most people never heard about these things? For instance
about the founding of the German state "Neuschwabenland" (New Swabia) in the
Antarctic during the Second World War? And why did U.S. admiral Richard E. Byrd
require almost 4,000 armed troops, an aircraft carrier and full military support
when he went to explore the Antarctic? And why did only a few hundred of them
return? Many open questions.
Why have only few people heard of these things,
or of the developments of NIKOLA TESLA, among which were free
energy machines, energy transfer without cables, antigravitation and the
changing of the weather by the aimed use of "standing waves"? What consequences
would the knowledge about free energy forms and about the use of flying saucers,
which only use a magnetic field for an energy source, have? Especially if every
citizen would have access to it, for their cars for example? No more "Fill'er
up!"
No pollutants, no pollution of the environment. No nuclear power
stations any more, people could no longer be kept locked within the boundaries
of a country, and we all would have more free time because we wouldn't have to
work to pay for heating, petrol and electricity (in this time one could think a
lot, perhaps about the meaning of life). And these energy forms exist. The have
been existing for at least ninety years and have been kept secret all this time
(more in "Further Reading").
Why were they kept secret?
Because people on
this Earth are controlled by energy, food and the retention (tilbakeholdelse) of
knowledge. If the knowledge about these things and their use would be available
to all, the Illuminati or other egotists could no longer play their power game.
Churches, sects and drugs would lose their importance. Therefore it is
imperative for the Illuminati to keep these things from the rest of the world,
in order to feed their greed and their ego with their might.
This was a side
trip just to show that the UFO theme is more explosive and real than many would
have it. The "strategy of ridicule" used by the Anglo-American establishment has
so far cost several billion dollars, just to denigrate the UFO theme by the mass
media successfully.
On top of that: The first law in a secret lodge is never
to be mentioned publicly, even saying the lodge name by a lodge brother is
punishable by death in certain cases (in the "99 lodge" for example).
In the
secret school of Pythagoras pronouncing the last theorem (læresetning), the
"octagon" was also punishable by death. The octagon is an important key to
understanding the "Merkabah" (the human geometric magnetic field) and is
therefore "illuminating", that means a solution to our problems. (Mer-ka-bah =
two counter-rotating light fields, which transport both body and spirit =
dematerialization and teleportation of the body)
Secrecy is a proper power.
It allows the execution of operations without them being hindered by legal
entanglements or potential opponents, and it also fosters the interchange of
higher knowledge among the knowing.

Long term causes of WWII









The failure of the League of Nations was abysmal and its creation the act of foolish idealists out of step with the extreme frustration that was prolonged . It was due primarily, as should have been foreseen by these shortsighted idealists, to the hardship caused by the depression of the 29 and its aftermath . The rabid nationalists of Germany were allowed to rearm and they bullied the world into a silence that gave them the green light to allow Hitler to emerge on the stage of history without incident and without any repercussions from the then peace loving democracies who appeased him into existence and allowed him room to expand an evil hegemony. They were thus liable for this supreme emergence and I do not accept that they allowed this emergent "secret rearming" in the Ruhr out of motives of appeasement merely, but out of motives of a violent antisemitism that then was sublimated, refined and rationalized by other acts and motives. This scenario was so typified by the Evian Conference . Only Vatican radio had the courage to set out the naked truth of the times, so it seems.


The long term causes of WWII did go back to the treaty of Versailles.


Weaknesses of the League and the Lack of courage to use armed force which it lacked anyway.


Apparent stability and prosperity should have been viewed for what it really was, a chimera , and the lack of foresight was purposeful "Pollyanna" thinking of the mass of cowards that gave the green light to Hitler..


Isolationism predominated in the US Great Britain and France also, hiding one's head in the sand as a panacea for all problems. Reflections of these attitudes:



  • the Weimar Republic

  • spineless democracies and latent anti semitism (EVIAN)

  • Europe was overconfident and feared emergent nationalism in Germany and willing to appease Hitler. "Peace at any price".

  • The Versailles humiliation of Germany after WWI and also the Great Depression and the insensitivity of the democracies to it.

  • Two treaties signed indicated (deceptively) an era of peace and toleration: The Locarno Treaty Dec 25 and the Kellog Briand Pact of 28 -disgusting document's exhibiting a costly naivete that would result in a world of war and shambles.







Long term causes of WWII




World War Two
was not caused solely by short term events in the 1930's such as Austria and
Czechoslovakia. The anger and resentment that built up in
Nazi Germany - and
which was played on by
Hitler during
his rise to power and when he became Chancellor in January 1933 -
also had long
term causes that went back to the
1919 Treaty
of Versailles
. Patriotic Germans had never forgotten their nation's
treatment in Paris in that year.
The
League had
some successes in this decade (the Aaland Islands, as an example) but the
weaknesses of the League had also been cruelly exposed on a number of occasions
when an aggressor nation successfully used force to get what it wanted and the
League could do nothing. This process set the mould for the 1930’s and any
would-be dictator would have been very well aware that the League did not have
the ability to enforce its decisions as it lacked an army.
Those nations that
were best equipped to provide the League with a military force (Britain and
France) were also not prepared to do so for domestic reasons
and the aftermath
of the Great War in which so many were killed or wounded. From a political point
of view, the British and French publics would not have tolerated a military
involvement in an area of Europe that no-one had heard of. Politicians were
responsive to the attitudes of the voters and neither Britain nor France were
prepared to militarily support the League in the 1920’s - despite being the
strongest nations in the League.
However, the apparent stability in Europe
after 1925 and its apparent prosperity, meant that conflicts rarely occurred
from 1925 to 1929.
In fact, Europe could have been confident in assuming
peace would last as two treaties were signed that seemed to indicate that a new
era of peace and toleration had been ushered in.
The Locarno Treaties were
signed in December 1925.
The major politicians of Europe met in neutral
Switzerland. The following was agreed to :
France, Germany and Belgium agreed
to accept their borders as were stated in the
Treaty of
Versailles
. France and Belgium would never repeat an invasion of the Ruhr
and Germany would never attack Belgium or France again.
Britain and Italy agreed
to police this part of the treaties. Germany also accepted that the Rhineland
must remain demilitarised.
In other treaties, France promised to protect
Belgium, Poland and Czechoslovakia if Germany attacked any one of them. Germany,
Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Poland and Czechoslovakia all agreed that they
would never fight if they had an argument between themselves - they would allow
the League to sort out the problem.
However, nationalists in Germany were
furious with their government for signing these treaties. By signing, the German
government effectively agreed that it accepted the terms of the
Versailles Treaty
of 1919. This to the nationalists bordered on treason and was totally
unacceptable. Their claims of treason went unheard as
Weimar Germany was
experiencing an economic growth and the hard times of 1919 to 1924 were
forgotten. Moderate politicians were the order of the day in Germany and the
extreme nationalists such as the
Nazi Party faded into
the background. The success of these moderate politicians was emphasised when
France backed Germany’s right to join the
League
of
Nations
which Germany duly did in 1926.
The other major treaty which seemed to herald
in an era of world peace was the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928.
This pact was
signed by 65 countries. All 65 nations agreed never to use war again as a way of
solving disputes.
Therefore, Europe was effectively lulled into a false sense
of security by 1929 as the politicians of Europe had made it plain that war was
no longer an option in solving disputes and that previous enemies were now
friends.
This new Europe relied on nations being at peace and harmony with one
another.
The stability of Germany was shattered by the
Wall
Street Crash
of October 1929 and the nationalists who had spent 1925 to 1929
in relative obscurity, rose to the political surface once again. They had no
intention of accepting either Versailles or the Locarno treaties and the
League’s weaknesses in this decade had also become apparent.
The League could
only function successfully, if the politicians of Europe allowed it to do so.
Hitler and the Nazis
were never going to give the
League
a chance once they had gained power.


THE LYSANDER THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL OF THE AIR

http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/special_operations_executive.htm
http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/lysander.htm




The Lysander was a stroke of genius that accommodated the allies in a time of peril almost perfectly for covert work. It was as described the SOE mainstay aircraft that landed special agents in France and other parts of Europe to "set Europe ablaze ".It could take off and land in the most difficult of terrain. It was a shuttle to and from occupied Europe and was an incalculable aid in helping resistance movements in Western Europe. It was a slow moving craft :


  • designed for hard work

  • it could fly at low altitude below radar

  • it had the abilityto disappear from sight

  • famous SOE operatives were landed by Lysanders including Violette Szabo and the 'White Rabbit'

  • Many flew out of Tangmere airbase in East Sussex

  • they were used to bring out escaping airmen

  • note the statistics on speed, crew, landing, and altitude

  • it also carried 2 supply canisters















THE LYSANDER THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL OF THE AIR







The Lysander was the mainstay of the Special
Operations Executive
(SOE) during World War Two.
The Lysander was used to transport SOE operatives to and from occupied Europe -
a mission that was fraught with danger - so that they could help resistance movements
in western
Europe
.

The Lysander was ideal for covert work. In an era when planes
were flying faster and faster and when people were becoming attuned to this, the
Lysander was a slow moving plane, designed for hard work - being able to take
off and land in the most difficult of terrain. The Lysander also flew at a low
altitude - below radar - which, at night, gave it more ability to 'disappear'
from sight.
Some of the most famous SOE operatives were landed by Lysanders -
Violette Szabo and the 'White Rabbit. Many flew out of Tangmere airbase in
East Sussex. As well as taking in SOE operatives, the Lysander was also used to
bring out escaping airmen.
The Lysander had a maximum speed of 206 mph and
had a crew of 2. It needed just 250 meters for a take off to 50 feet and it
needed just 320 meters for a landing from an altitude of 50 feet.
The Lysander
was armed in case of attack - two .303 Browning machine guns were fitted into
the two wheel spats and some had a Lewis machine gun in the rear cockpit. Along
with its human cargo, the Lysander could also carry two supply canisters. To the
SOE, the Lysander was known as the 'scarlet pimpernel of the air'.

Pearl Witherington hero of the French Reistance and SOE






The text below and linked is pretty self explanatory of this heroine of the war,of the SOE and the French Resistance. I will only recap some brief activities as further detailed below:




  • her work of great value to the allies

  • escaped to England in 41 and worked in the Air Ministry

  • of British parents in Paris

  • tried to get into SOE and could speak fluent French

  • accepted to SOE,was parachuted to France to help French Resistance codenamed Marie

  • was one of 39 women sent to France

  • she was in the Stationer network of Maurice Southgate and linked up with Henri Cornioley

  • squadron leader Southgate was captured and she was suddenly in charge of 1500 Resistance Fighters in the Wrestler Network

  • Pearl reorganized Wrestler to great effect

  • This unit operated in the Valencay-Issoudun-Chateauroux triangle

  • Added by Henri Cornioley, whom she later married

  • 18000 Germans were POW's to Wrestler see narrative below







Pearl Witherington was one of thirty nine women who parachuted into France
to work for the Special
Operations Executive
, the group tasked by Winston
Churchill
to 'set Europe ablaze'. Witherington, once in France, was in
constant danger, as was any member of SOE. However, the work Witherington did
was of great value to the Allies - so much value, that the Germans placed a huge
reward on her head.
Pearl Witherington was born on June 24th, 1914, to
English parents who were living in Paris. She was the eldest of four daughters.
Pearl did not start school until aged thirteen but she had to start work at an
early age to financially support her family as a result of her father’s
drinking. After the German invasion of Western
Europe
in the spring of 1940, it would have
been very likely that the family would have been held as internees.
As a result, Pearl organised the escape of her family to England in 1941. Once in England,
Pearl started to work in the Air Ministry. She found the work tedious and tried
to get into the Special Operations
Executive
. The fact that she could speak fluent French was a major benefit
and she was accepted for training.
After just three weeks training, Pearl
returned to France on September 22nd ,1943, posing as a representative for a
cosmetics company and with the codename 'Marie'. She was just one of thirty-nine
women who were parachuted into France to help the French
Resistance
. Once in France she was in the 'Stationer Network' led by Maurice
Southgate and linked up with Henri Cornioley. Witherington spent eight months
working primarily as a courier delivering coded messages to radio operators. Her
work, as with any SOE operative, could be very arduous and dangerous. On one
occasion she had to wade waist-deep with her bike slung across her back through
a freezing river as a bridge she needed to cross was unexpectedly being guarded.
Her fluency in French was also a great help in avoiding trouble.
Pearl’s
greatest challenge came when the leader of SOE in the area she operated in,
Squadron Leader Maurice Southgate, was captured. She suddenly found herself in
charge of 1,500 Resistance fighters, known as the ‘Wrestler’ network. This unit
operated in the Valencay-Issoudun-Chateauroux triangle
Added by Henri
Cornioley, whom she later married, Pearl reorganised ‘Wrestler’ to great effect.
In the lead up to D-Day in an
effort to disrupt the Germans as much as was physically possible, ‘Wrestler’
blew up 800 stretches of railway lines and supply routes and as the Allies
advanced out of Normandy, 18,000 Germans gave themselves up as
POW's to
‘Wrestler’
. The Nazis put a one million franc bounty on her (about £500,000 in
today’s money) such was her success.
Pearl Witherington and Henri Cornioley
both escaped to London in September
1944 and married the
following month
. Witherington's name was put forward for a Military Cross but
women were not eligible for the medal and she never received it.
Henri
Cornioley died in 1999 while Pearl is still alive having just been awarded her
parachute wings in April 2006. In World War Two, parachute
wings were given after four training jumps and one operational one. However,
women completed three training jumps before being parachuted into France to
complete work for the SOE.
Therefore, Pearl Witherington did four jumps and not the five required. Aged 91,
she was awarded her wings by Squadron Leader Rhys Cowsill at her home near
Tours
.


Noor Inayat Khan Hero of WWII and the resistance SOE Operative General Collin Gubbins Colonel Maurice Buckmaster Prosper Network Francis Suttill

I have no photo of this hero but her bio is quite "telling" that is her activities as an SOE Operative. The dramas were assigned to her. Extreme danger mixed with the idealism never to divulge or cooperate with the SS is quite evident. Some SOE operatives such as Szabo were immortalized in film. Not so with Noor Inayat Khan whose work was classified for nearly or over 60 years. Why so long a secretive work? The records office in Kew have only recently released her files 60 years after hr death. She and others were posthumously awarded the George Cross along with Szabo. Imagine her upbringinjg as a pacifist,harpist and writer (Twenty Jataka Tales). When the war broke out she was about to found a children's newspaper.She was a pacifist volunteering for the WAAF . Incongrous? How do you explain her actions to get involved in the war? The SOE in Baker Street in London picked up that she was fluent in French from her time in Paris which she left when the Germans invaded and she emigrated to France. Perhaps she saw the need of a "righteous war" as a necessity to have Pacifist ideals to survive? Only a surmise. She was already a trained wireless operator and to that extent dedicated to the war effort.Note why her training did not go well, yet Buckmaster saw her vital attributes and she became a "field agent".






Her false papers named her ‘Jeanne Marie Renier’ and her code name was Madeleine. She worked as a spy not afforded any protection under the Geneva Convention. She must have known that in advance and that foreknowledge indicates her passiion for involvement in the war effort. She landed in the Loire and reconoitred in Paris as a radio operator for the Prosper Network led by Francis Suttill. Henri Dericourt the Gestapo double agent betrayed this network. Almost all of Prosper was arrested by the Gestapo.




She somehow stayed ahead of her captors and became the most important link in France, but Renee Garry eventually berayed her to the SD. she was never tortured but was interrogated and refused to talk because she did not trust her interrogators. The Gestapo used Noor's own radio to send messages hoping for return "compromised" messages.




Noor never betrayed anyone under interrogation and attempted escape in November 43.




Unsuccessful, she was taken to Nazi Germany's Pforzheim prison. She was kept in chains and isolated from other prisoners whom she however was able to inform she was "Nora Baker".




Four SOE women were sent to Dachau Noor and 3 others. At Dachau a plaque was placed for these 4 women.




Post war records indicate that while at Dachau she was severely beaten by an SS guard named Friedrich Wilhelm Ruppert who then shot her in the back of the neck. In May 46 he was executed for his crimes.
























http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/noor_inayat_khan.htm



Noor Inayat Khan was a member of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) founded in World War Two to support the work of the French Resistance and to help fulfil Winston Churchill’s desire to ‘set Europe ablaze’. Some
operatives for the SOE found posthumous post-war fame as a result of films made
about the work that they did. Such films have helped to cement their place in
history. For example, the work done
Violette Szabo was made into a film. Some put in an equal great
deal of work for SOE but have faded from history because their work was not
similarly recorded for posterity. In Noor’s case, this was probably the result
of her work being kept classified
– the National Records Office in Kew have only
recently released her files nigh on sixty years after her death. Noor Inayat
Khan was posthumously awarded the George Cross and the Croix de Guerre with Gold
Star for her work.

Noor was born into an aristocratic Indian
family on January 1st 1914. Her British mother married a descendant of Tipu
Sultan, the last Moghal Emperor of Southern India.
Noor was born in Moscow in
1914 but the family left for England and then France. Living in Paris, Noor was
brought up as a pacifist, Noor studied child psychology at the Sorbonne and
wrote poems and spent much of her time playing music.

When World
War Two broke out in 1939, Noor was already achieving her first success. As a harpist
she had been heard at the Salle Erard. Her stories were appearing on the
children's page of ‘Le Figaro’ and broadcast on Radiodiffusion Francaise. A
London publisher bought out her ‘Twenty Jataka Tales’, which was published in
the UK, USA and France. Noor was also in the process of founding a children's
newspaper when war broke out.

When the Germans invaded France in the spring of 1940, Noor and her family travelled from Paris to Bordeaux to
get a ship to Great Britain. They were aided in this by the fact that her
brother had a British passport. They got the last ship to leave Bordeaux and
landed in Falmouth, Cornwall, on June 20th, 1940. Noor had been brought up as a
pacifist but she volunteered for the WAAF (Women’s Auxiliary Air Force) where
she took the name Nora Baker. On her application form for the WAAF Noor stated
that she was fluent in French and this was picked up by the SOE based at Baker
Street in London.

The overall head of SOE was General Sir Colin
Gubbins. Colonel Maurice Buckmaster was in command of the French Section (F
Section) with Vera Atkins responsible for the female recruits in that section. A
shortage of men with the necessary skills led to Churchill ordering that women
could be used in France within the SOE networks. Noor fitted the skills
requirement with ease – fluent in French and an already trained wireless
operator as a result of her time in the WAAF. SOE was to send 37 women to
France
.

Noor was recruited into the Special Operations Executive
in
1942. Her three months training did not always go well and she
was described by her training team as “clumsy”, “pretty scared of weapons”, “not
over-burdened with brains” and with “an unstable and temperamental personality”.
Buckmaster referred to these comments as “nonsense” and he saw that her most
vital attributes were her fluency in French and her expertise as a wireless
operator. At the end of her training Noor was “an agent in the field”.
Officially Noor was an Assistant Section Officer and seconded in the First Aid
Women’s Yeomanry (FANY) with an annual pay of £350.
In reality she was ‘Jeanne
Marie Renier’ on her false papers with the call sign ‘nurse’ and the code-name
‘Madeleine’. Working as a spy, Noor was not afforded any protection under the Geneva Convention.

Noor took off by Lysander from Tangmere late on June 16th 1943 and
landed in a remote field in the Loire on June 17th. 'Madeleine' was to serve as
a radio operator for SOE in the Paris area working for the ‘Prosper’ network led
by Francis Suttill.
This was a highly dangerous job with a life expectancy of
just six weeks. Her position had already been compromised however as the man who
greeted her in the Loire – Henri Dericourt – was a double agent working for the
Gestapo. Within a few months of her arrival, almost all the members of ‘Prosper’
were arrested in the most devastating coup the Gestapo made in occupied France.
However, Noor always managed to somehow keep one step ahead of those
chasing her. Her radio went wherever she went – a heavy 33lb B Mark II
set
.
Overnight, the ‘poste-Madeleine’ became the
most important link in France
, being almost the only radio-link between France
and England. For four months Noor carried out this extremely dangerous work –
“the principal and most dangerous post in France” (General Sir Colin Gubbins,
Head of SOE). She had been trained to use a pistol during her training but she
had not taken the weapon with her because of her pacifist beliefs.
Therefore, if
caught she would have had nothing to fight back with. Even Gestapo records made
it clear that they knew Noor existed but they simply could catch her.

Noor was eventually betrayed to the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) by one
of her own. It is said that jealousy prompted RenĂ©e Garry to expose ‘Madeleine’
and she was rewarded with 100,000 French francs by the Gestapo – far less than
the Gestapo had been willing to pay for her betrayal. Ironically, the Gestapo
caught Noor just 200 meters from their headquarters at 84, Avenue Foch in Paris.
Placed in a top floor room and demanding a bath, Noor attempted to use this
privacy to escape - but was caught. She was never tortured by the SD but
throughout she daily interrogations Noor refused to talk claiming that she did
not trust her interrogators.

The Gestapo used Noor’s own radio to
send messages to Buckmaster in what they called a ‘radio game’. Against her
training, Noor had kept copies of the messages that she had sent. These proved
very useful to the SD who could mimic her use of her radio. They tried all they
could to get SOE to send important and compromising information to them with SOE
assuming they were sending it to ‘Madeleine’. Because radio messages were coming
through on Noor’s wireless, Buckmaster believed that she was still free. On
October 2nd 1943, Buckmaster decided to ignore a signal sent through that
‘Madeleine’ was in hospital – code for her being either captured or in great
danger
.

Post-war Gestapo reports clearly show that Noor never
betrayed anyone under interrogation. “Madeleine after her capture showed great
courage and we got no information whatsoever out of her. We could never rely on
anything she said.”

In November 1943, Noor attempted
another escape. This also failed but the Gestapo finally ordered that this
highly prized prisoner should be taken out of Paris and imprisoned in Nazi
Germany.

From November 1943 to September 1944,
Noor was kept in the women’s section of Pforzheim prison. She was classed as
highly important and was kept in chains and isolated from all other prisoners.
However, she did manage to inform those other prisoners there that she was Nora
Baker.

The records indicate that four SOE women were then sent to
Dachau (Noor from Pforzheim and three others from a prison at Karlsrule) on
September 11th, 1944. On September 12th, 1944, it is known that four SOE women
were shot at Dachau – though their executions were never witnessed by any other
prisoner.

The SS kept no records of SOE prisoners held at Dachau
or what happened to them. However, post-war investigations indicated that Noor
was severely beaten by a SS guard called Friedrich Wilhelm Ruppert who then shot
her in the back of the neck. In May 1946, Ruppert was executed for his crimes.

At Dachau a plaque has the name of the four SOE women shot
there:

Wing commander Yeo Thomas WWII hero and hero of the resistance




He was known as White Rabbit (Code name) to the French resistance and joined SOE in February of 42. Parachuted into Normandy, he travelled to Paris to organize various rwesistance movements through out France, a hazrdous (needless to say) undertaking requiring necessary guts, idealism, and daring upon which those that performed these tasked thrived. In April he returned and was given a vital task to find out why so many of the resistance were being arrested in Paris.He was able to successfully solidify security within and between resistance units.He approached CVhurchill to ensufre better armaments for these units.In February 44 he was parachuted back to France to assess damage done by the arrest of two reistsance leaders During this time he was captured and tortured by the Gestapo and sent to Buchenwald from which he escaped in November 44. By Spring 45, he reached the safety of the advancing allies. His pattern of life and activity demonstrates his superb courage with cunning and heroism to resist a merciless Nazi foe knowing the hazards and risks to be encountered when caught and still maintained vigilance, as many did in that era.The trimes called for such as these and they rose to the occasion as they always do in such times.







Wing-Commander Yeo-Thomas joined the Special
Operations Executive
in February 1942. Yeo-Thomas was
known to the French
Resistance
as 'Shelley' or as the 'White Rabbit'.
In February 1943, Yeo-Thomas was
parachuted into Normandy. From here, he travelled to Paris where he had been
given the task of organising the various resistance movements that were found
throughout France. In April 1943, he returned to France where he was given the
vital task of trying to work out why so many members of the French
Resistance
were being arrested in Paris. His influence and guidance ensured
that the various
resistance
movements
used much greater security not only within each unit but between
the various factions.
On one of his inspections of the resistance,
Yeo-Thomas was appalled at how badly they were equipped with weapons. In an
interview with Winston
Churchill
, he claimed that the resistance would only operate better, if they
had access to better armaments. In February 1944, Yeo-Thomas was
parachuted back into France to assess the damage done by the arrest of two
leading resistance leaders. During this work, he was captured and tortured by
the Gestapo. Yeo-Thomas was sent to Buchenwald concentration camp where, in
November 1944, he escaped. By the spring of 1945, Yeo-Thomas had
reached the safety of the advancing Allies in France.
