520    "During World War II, Elzbieta Zawacka--the WWII female 
       resistance fighter known as Agent Zo--was the only woman 
       to reach London as an emissary of the Polish Home Army 
       command. In Britain, she became the only woman to join the
       Polish elite Special Forces, known as the "Silent Unseen."
       She was secretly trained in the British countryside, and 
       then she was the only female member of these forces to be 
       parachuted back behind enemy lines to Nazi-occupied 
       Poland. There, while being hunted by the Gestapo (who 
       arrested her entire family), she took a leading role in 
       the Warsaw Uprising and the liberation of Poland. After 
       the war, she was discharged as one of the most highly 
       decorated women in Polish history. Yet the Soviet-backed 
       post-war Communist regime not only imprisoned (and 
       tortured) her, but also ensured that her remarkable story 
       remained hidden for over forty years." --|cProvided by
