Nazi Ballerina Causes Biggest Setback Of WWII

A very pretty blonde spy may have caused the biggest setback of World War II according to newly released documents. The files say that ballerina Marina Lee stole battle plans which ultimately led to Nazi Germany’s capture of Norway in 1940. The documents were released by the British spy agency MI5. Marina supposedly infiltrated the British Expeditionary forces headquarters and obtained the plans that were being drawn up by General Auchinleck. The German Commander General Eduard Dietl was considering withdrawing from the Norwegian port of Norvik but upon obtaining the plans from Lee he properly placed his troops to counter the British. The allied forces were forced to eventually retreat from Norway. According to the BBC the information about Lee was disclosed after Gerth Van Wijk, a German agent who had changed sides to work for the British, recounted the story he had heard from von Finckenstein, a German intelligence officer. The account was later backed by several more agents. Marina Lee was born in St. Petersburg, Russia where she trained to be a skilled ballerina until she wanted to play spy. The files detail her as a “blonde, tall, with a beautiful figure, refined and languid in manner” and reportedly spoke five languages who was a highly valued and experienced Nazi agent. Whomever said blondes are dumb was clearly fooled as this woman is credited with singlehandedly allowing Germany to defeat Norway. She was even rumored to be a personal friend of Stalin and to have been working for both the USSR and Germany who at that time were good friends. Germany in a military sense was really like the modern day America as they had the best toys and the best spies; even equipped with an arrogant leader.
