Margrit Bolli
Margrit Bolli (15 December 1919 - 13 October 2017) was a Swiss dancer, better known to students of espionage during the Second World War as a radio operator for the "Red Three", the Swiss branch of the so-called "Red Orchestra". "Red Orchestra" was the umbrella term used by the German security services to identify a widely dispersed network of anti-(German) government resistance activists.

For this, the work of politically engaged radio operators such as Margrit Bolli was vital. Life and work Margareta/Margaret Bolli was born in Basel. Her father was a known anti-fascist, originally from Italy. She had t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
