An excellent well made documentary ! No clues as to how she was intending to pass the information on ?

Thank you! No idea though it was later found out that a German offensive called operation sealion was planned which envolved the invasion of the island, and was set to happen a month after Dorothy was caught. The operation though never went ahead. 👍
