Virginia Hall: The Woman With a Limp Virginia Hall supported the Resistance to Nazi takeover for years in Spain and France. She provided maps to Allied forces for drop zones, found safe houses, reported on enemy movements, and even assisted in training at battalions of French Resistance forces. She did all this with a wooden prosthesis, after she lost part of her leg in a 1932 hunting accident. "The Germans recognized her activities and made her one of their most wanted spies calling her the 'woman with a limp' and 'Artemis.'" Hall taught herself to walk without a limp and successfully employed many disguises to foil Nazi attempts to capture her. taken from fb/Daniel del moral/History of WW2
