About This Item
(Subject: Political & Biographies - General) The story of the only woman to fight for the French Legion, born to a life of privilege, and after being expelled from finishing school, she joined the Free French in 1940. She sailed to Africa where she travelled the country eventually becoming a driver to General Koenig of the Foreign Legion. He was to become her lover and he also changed the face of Rommel's North African campaign. At the great siege of Bir Hakeim , the general's troops were surrounded for fifteen days by Rommel's Panzer division. Refusing to leave the General's side she eventually, at the wheel of his car, led the convoy of vehicles and men across the minefields in a daring mass breakout. In 1997 in a simple ceremony the Legion presented her, now a frail 88 year old, with the Legion d'Honneur--their highest award for bravery.
