Very early , 23 Sept 1943, Pearl Witherington parachutes into Nazi-occupied France as a Special Operations Executive courier. The British SOE supported the French Resistance and a courier was tasked with moving papers and equipment around their network.

Witherington takes over leadership of her network, eventually commanding 1,500 maquis and overseeing the surrender of 18,000 German troops.

You will note she wasn't Afro-British with a Scots accent though.
