The French Firing Squad Is Blown One Last Kiss By Mata Hari

We just had to mention Mata Hari once more. This was an alluring dancer who would eventually be inducted into an elite spy network during World War I. It is no mystery that she used her sensual charms to draw vital information out of people. Her spy skills were largely built on her natural talents for temptation and duplicity, as well as impersonation. In her early days as a spy, she took on the identity of Lady MacLeod, an English lord’s daughter, who strangely danced exotically. While she did enjoy much success as a spy, her days were severely numbered, and she would soon be detained by the French. They would then stand her against a wall on 15 October, 1917 in front of a firing squad. She then supposedly blew the soldiers one last kiss whilst blindfolded just before being shot.
