It was a man named Captain Pierre Bouchardin.

Yeah.

Yeah, he had also just recently found out that his wife was having an affair.

Oh, God.

He wasn't well disposed to women in general, I think.

But the case is so interesting because, well, it's interesting on lots of different levels.

But yeah, she was, as we've been discussing, she's a pretty crap spy.

I mean, they had enough to prosecute her.

But what tended to happen in these cases is...

I mean, she could well have been prosecuted and found guilty and spent the rest of the war in prison and then been let go.

But she was such a potent scapegoat.

So we kind of return to the beginning of our conversation where we're thinking about this woman who is divorced.

She's been a courtesan.

She's been on the stage.

She's standing up in a court and talking about how she likes to compare the sexual prowess of different relations.

Yeah, and I think that she was also such a fantasist that I think that right up until the end, she thought she was going to get pardoned.

So that's one way of thinking about this.

But also, I think the other...

possibility is that she kind of knew she had nowhere to go.

I mean, it's a Thelma and Louise moment.
