In 1944, whilst travelling to the safe house she used in Paris she discovered that her network had been revealed by a Belgian collaborator. She was ordered by her British handlers to escape to England by following the same route as that used by the airmen she had assisted. After travelling through France to Spain via the Pyrenees she reached Gibraltar, and from there flew to Britain. Once there, she was taught to parachute and to be a secret agent in advance of being dropped into France as part of the Ardennes Counteroffensive. However, she was never sent, and remained in England until after the war.
