Former version: Bucharest, Hungary. Was it Bucharest or Budapest? --Halibutt 07:00, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Good question since the only Bucharest you hear of, and probably the only one suited as a spy's base, is in Romania. But the next 'graph does say "Hungary" as well, so change to
as most likely case, pending certainty. --Jerzy 23:37, 2004 Jan 13 (UTC)
Text, left intact in 'graph 3, is
- She was arrested twice but on both occasions she managed to get away.
If she escaped by stealth, or by seducing and/or murdering her guards, or was rescued by the Resistance while being moved for interrogation (as happened in the case of Jean Moulin), that is worth saying unambiguously; if she merely was released by seeming innocent, that too should be said. --Jerzy 23:37, 2004 Jan 13 (UTC)

[edit] krystyna skarbek
reading about the women the thought she might be a double agent means so many differant things but the truth will always be hidden so how do we find the truth and what about her life befor the war
- Geee... but what exactly do you mean? Wiki is not about finding the truth, it's about reporting the facts. That's not the same... Halibutt 22:04, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
What was wrong with the picture and why was it removed? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 21:38, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] From my talk page:
i have recently completed writing the manuscript for what I hope will be the definitive biography of Krystyna. She was definitely not a double-agent. Her accuser was a Polish officer of the Szosty Oddzial (Sixth Bureau) who could not stand to have someone as charismatic as Krystyna on his patch (Cairo). None of the rumours he spread about her were ever confirmed and she was eventually re-instated as an SOE operative.
By the way, Krystyna was NOT born in 1915, but earlier, and not in Mlodzieszyn. Her birth and baptismal certificates have been located in Poland. When I find a publisher for my manuscript I will correct what has been written about her in Wikipedia (which I fully support). Ron Nowicki
[edit] Birthplace
Could anyone confirm her birthplace? Currently the place mentioned in the article does not seem Polish at all. Was it Młodzieszyn? Halibutt 17:25, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
