Noor was one of only three women SOE agents awarded the George Cross and, under torture, revealed nothing, not even her real name.Kept in solitary confinement, her hands and feet chained together, Noor was starved and beaten, but the Germans could not break her spirit. Ten months after she was captured, she was taken to Dachau concentration camp and, on 13 September 1944, she was shot. Her last word was 'Liberté'.
