Before there was James Bond, there was Krystyna Skarbek — a Polish aristocrat turned British secret agent whose courage, charm, and cunning helped turn the tide of World War II. In this gripping episode of History Crossroads, we uncover the incredible true story of the woman who outwitted the Gestapo, skied through the frozen Alps with secret messages in her boots, and became one of Britain’s most decorated — yet forgotten — heroines.

Host Adam takes you deep into the world of espionage, exploring how Skarbek’s daring missions, psychological brilliance, and unbreakable resolve made her a legend among spies — and a ghost in the history books. From Nazi prisons to postwar betrayal, this episode is a tribute to a woman who smiled at danger… and won.

In this episode of History Crossroads, host Adam recounts the life of Brigadier General Felix Sparks, the soldier who led the charge into the Dachau concentration camp and came face-to-face with the true horrors of the Holocaust.
