108: Virginia Hall: The Most Dangerous Spy of WWII

Virginia Hall was a Baltimore socialite, tomboy, aspiring diplomat, and an amputee. She went by nicknames such as "Fighting Blade" and "Donna Juanita." She spoke six languages and could make her own cheese. Her biggest accomplishment? Giving the Nazis what-for during WWII. She became irreplaceable as she helped coordinate intel and resources to resistance fighters in France, right under the Gestapo's nose. And she'll have to run for her life as one of the most cruel men in history tries to track down 'The Limping Lady." Join Morgan and Emiliegh as they discuss her life and how this amazing woman helped change the world.
