She volunteered her serivces to the Allies despite her Sunni Muslim faith, which advocated pacifism. Extraordinarily conscientious and brave, Noor was the first female radio operator to be sent into Nazi-occupied France by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) at a time when agetns reputedly had a life expectancy of just six weeks. When the Nazis shut down her network, she did the work of six persons as the Nzais closed in on her.
Noor was eventually betaryed and captured.
In ten months of torture and brutal interrogation, she didnt give the Gestapo a single item of information, includnig her real name. Eventually, that remarkable wmoan was taken to Dachau Concentration Camp and shot. Timewatch tells the Princess Spys tragic and inspirational story.
