I avoid seriously I satisfy all my caprices Katy that doesn't really found that much like you itself,

like motto. Hurry, though, are you sure you not confusing year of life, Ding Ding, Ding issues subject for today? Not hurry was an exotic dancer and we do mean exotic and a quarter but we know her best for her reputation as a glamorous beautiful spy, ensnaring high powered military men with her charms and her talons. So who was this Minister Salami, as the newspapers called her and what it actually was she guilty of well. Unsurprisingly, birth name was not motto, hurry and says it was Margareta Gertrude though an she entered world in the Netherlands on August, seventeen eighteen, seventy six and she was the spoiled little

Princess daughter of a hatter incredibly spoiled. I don't know what you're talking about, Sir, because I too had my own fatten, drawn by goats when I was a child, so perhaps years is too little deprived, but maybe both his had princess like child but she was abandoned in her teens when her father goes bankrupt and her mother dies and from point on? She has an affair with the headmaster. Three be first, skinny are first entry into this scandalous world. She was looking a way out of the Netherlands, and she found it in. I who she met through his personal at captain, Rudolf Macleod of the Dutch Colonial army. They were engaged in six days and married in eighteen, ninety, five, the bride or yellow- and According to one article I read he was extravagantly mustachioed. He was also older age, drinker, a gambler and a jealous man, threw, in short a Darnley and he beat her

and threatened her with guns and swords, and he firmly abused her describing her as the scum at the lowest kind, and he also had syphilis, which he called obesity laughing the same thing glossing over that she will a great wife, though she said that she had inclinations that made it impossible for a woman like me to be a good housewife and its also proud. All that she was sleeping around with other military men that he knew married life, definitely not for her, but it wasn't for him either. He kept up his womanizing. He just expected her stay home and not do the same. Had two children with Macleod a boy and a girl, and, tragically both children became very, very ill, and her son died at age too, and its powers. Bull that she had contracted civil as from her husband and pass it on to her children may be. Second, due to a doctor's attempt to cure the infection with mercury, but other rumors were that labour.

And by a nanny or a servant, and her husband thought she might have done it and admitted that he wanted to kill her. That their marriage deteriorates and as it becomes more violent and more unhappy, they retire the Netherlands and a separate and he leaves her penniless and she gives him custody of their daughter and what she gonna do. She doesn't. Have any money. She doesn't have a job, so she goes to Paris and finds a way to survive acting as a nude artists, model being a circus rider and acting as a problem but then she began dancing first in private homes and then in public Lady Macleod, the name she meant by then was five ten and gorgeous with olive skin, dark, hair and eyes. She looked a bit and so she concocted a style of dance to match it, which was

legally reminiscent of javanese dance from her life there with the captain and definitely sexy. She called these dances, sacred dances and tied together, religion, art, an nudity. You wish lady Gaga and there were lots of religious statues and veils, mainly veils, dropping to the floor as she became more and more nude and ride around in front of figurines of someone's gone classic, lousy and in the early nineteen hundred she emerges as modern hurry, which means the eye of the day in this Did metal brazier with a tiger like or sometimes people describe it as serpent like moves that she'd show off? Well, yes, Answer would like to see these moves and reading accounts from the papers at the time. It's hilarious because, just falling all over themselves to try to find words to describe

MR sexy. She is without actually saying that so already another print it oh yeah, she's tiger liken you're talking about her serpentine moves and how she does a simple danced where she becomes more simple meaning sheet drops more. We're vows until there's not a whole lot left will her dear Maybe simple, but her life definitely isn't her back story. Isn't it elaborate and made up story. She talks about how her mother, with an indian princess and how she sneaked into Hindu temples, learn the dances of worshippers just off the wall, stuff, infectiousness, new, beautiful lying naked woman and was a smash it in Paris. More citing than the MILAN Rouge collapsed, went to see her dance detail. I liked and renewal, fame brought her many new lovers? She did love her military man. She said once I have never loved any that officers, so I

that matter, hurry loves, include, making up stories dancing being naked and having sex with military men. But we cannot leave one thing, lest that spending money, she's very extravagant and its house eventually ends up at the fully bears air, which is a downgrade compared to where she was performing before. So, how does she end up shot by firing squad on espionage? Charges were she's dead, these military officers for nefarious purposes that you didn't see that I'm coming thoroughfare shocker and the answer to that depend on who you ask the curator the motto hurry exerted at the freeze, museum effort. Kramer says that she's definitely guilty, but she definitely offered to spy for the Germans and she offered, despite several times, for the French. But the historian Leon, Sherman and biographer Pat Shipman maintain that her trial and execution was more about scapegoating that she might

I ve been a double agent, but she was an incredibly inapt when she just wanted money that she was offered. She didn't silly, really pay attention to the idea of the assignment to another you mentioned two possible judgments are going to give you a story she was in Germany, dancing at the Metro Paul when world where one broke out- and she was dutch another- let's bring your trial, but she spent each time in France, at the Germans considered her a french citizen. They took everything she owned, except for the clothes she was wearing and sent her out of town on a train. Presumably us out that out. Imagine perhaps an elegant suit thought. She makes her Amsterdam and an old lover, and it's there. He possibly began her downfall. She wanted situation for the things that have been taken from her and the german consulate wouldn't give it to her. But they did her another deal, and that was money in exchange for spy work, though she takes the money, but did she take the job

the big question about modern heritage. To do the work she did get assigned, code name, each twenty one, which is not nearly as good as mine, hurry, but everything, during this period is very muddled. Accounts have her betraying both the Germans and the French looking for both unscrewing them, both over one account says, She admitted to giving the Germans information, but just updated information, so not so bad pleased on executing And another one says that she came into contact with french intelligence was she was trying to make her way to a lover and federal and they later son. To Belgium on a mission, but she couldn't get there. Instead, she got together with a german captain who told her german secrets, according to her account a core. Two french intelligence. She was passing french secrets on to the Germans. Of course, you could look at it either way because none of us were there in another says that french intelligence

So I came to her asking her to spy to prove that she wasn't spying for Germany. I know that sounds counter intuitive, but basically, if you'll do this work for us One will know that you're, ok and she money for clothes and maybe again didn't perform her duties. So we have no here. What actually happened during this period? We have little bits and pieces, but they dont ever come together to form a cohesive picture of what happened. Trust me, I've read account up, count after account, but she definitely had contact with the german and french officers and with french and german intelligence simply uncertain what the extent of that contact was. Was it just Saxon, money or secrets or delicious combination of the three? But whether

let it or not, is certainly true that her reputation as a spendthrift sexually promiscuous woman colored people's perceptions of her and worked against her during her trial? The other British were very against matter hurry, for example they her on one of her traps and searched her, and despite not fight anything they still declared her personal suspicion. She was after and multi lingual she's, beautiful woman, traveling alone, and they described her is bold, which is probably occurred. Word for her fact life, You can just imagine her in a move. Somebody who just seems suspicious not been you can see her and that that glamorous depiction movies that If she sounds pretty terrible, and here we are talking others before the podcast, how she felt like she would be an absolute pain if you're. Actually there talking to her she's a fascinating. She was the arrest

in February, thirteen nineteen seventeen and she said to have handed out chocolates to her rosters and she was too and a military court which some called a Kangaroo court July, twenty fourth and twenty fifth and the french chief inquisitors set of her just to give you an idea of what kind of trial this was feline supple and artificial, used gambling. Everything and anything without scruple without pity, always read. Devour fortunes, leaving her ruined lovers to blow their brains out. She was a boy spy and well, I don't, have any of those qualities add together to form a spy. Perhaps just lack the inquest, imagination. I think that would be the dialogue to open up the movie, maybe she's riding on the train, but she is affected and she's sentence to die by firing Squad and October fifteenth nineteen seventeen she goes to face her death. She wears this nice gray suit and a hat and refused to be tied to the state

and she also refused a blindfold thing that won't be necessary, so she has a good death. Considering and again we come to our question: was she a spy, It's been proposed that the French simply needed escaped go. The war was going badly. So many dying. Morale was very low Here we have you, no littleness sexy sex and her piles of money, which just didn't seem right to them. The papers were saying much. Bathed in milk, when french children didn't even have knocked to drink sea can see why she would be easy to hate to him that the money is being exchanged by things like clothes. That just makes it so much for instead of control, when the war effort right, and it's also been suggested that some of the documents used in her trial were altered by the french and surprise twin, that the french head of intelligence may have been a german spy himself and was trying to deflect attention

strengthening them with my heart. So not a hurry, a victim or why she Billy a criminal where she, this cunning d, crosser enough them for town, or was she somebody who is convenient to blame? A woman who was easy to fear and easy to hate. I'm more of a second opinion. To be honest, it doesnt really sound like she would be capable of former the little gem yeah to be executing really high level doubled thing level agents to someone who cared much more about sex or money than she did about any sort of political. Visions, but we are uncertain and we probably will be until the french declassified documents related to her case in twenty. Seventeen cell will catch up with you in twenty, send him well,

in the meantime, we'll talk listener. Male, our first email is from Caroline and she wrote I guess canadian. I wasn't really the right audience for the bombardment of Baltimore episode, as I was reading for the other guys, I'm a proud, a living across the street from our beautiful Citadel Ford, which, by the way, would have been more than prepared for an american attack, not the cake. Long Jefferson imagined also General Robert Ross as varied about two blocks from my apartment: cities oldest and prettiest cemetery, while he was killed

Bury the body favour with good sentimental again, there's plenty of emails from Aaron Intact, and she wrote regarding the bombardment of Baltimore high costs and enough focus. We talk a little bit about the STAR Spangled Banner and how little pieces of it had been snapped up and given after

first, the family as gas and the flag and cursing the family exactly and she wrote that she had a similarly historic lag and her own family. And a few years ago her parents were visiting her grandmother when her dad found what you call a little piece of history. Tucked away in a family photo album and he finds to small squares fabric. One read one wide and the following letter addressed to his grandmothers grandmother in its from December twenty first eighteen, sixty five, madam, I presume sufficiently upon my acquaintance with Mr Andria too thin. You buy him a souvenir at the past, a piece of general. Aren't you believe battle plan after the surrender had been determined upon the officers of the general staff determined that the glorious old flag, which had floated in triumph over so many bloody field, should never be desecrated. By. Thank you hand, and the letter does on like that. But once per day
