Marie Dupont
A Brief Encounter
Marie Dupont was the embodiment of the silent strength that coursed through Paris during the occupation. Born in the heart of the French capital in 1910, she was a woman whose intellect and grace were matched only by her fierce patriotism. As the city she loved fell under the shadow of oppression, Marie transformed her elegance into a weapon, her social connections into a network of resistance.
At 30, her role as a purveyor of secrets was masked by her poised demeanor and fashionable presence. On the night of June 14th, 1940, she was a vision of resolve, her every gesture deliberate, her every word a veiled directive. In her, the Allies found an invaluable ally, a keeper of fates who bore the burden of her crucial mission with silent dignity.
