Answer for the Day 05 Mar 07
The answer I was looking for is "Noor Inayat Khan".
She was the great-great-great-granddaughter of Tipu Sultan
Was posthumously awarded the George cross, one of the highest awards for bravery
In 1944, the Gestapo firing squad executed her.
She was born in Russia and brought up in London and Paris.
Those who answered Mata Hari: Will soon bring out a question on her too. (She wasn't exactly known for her bravery)
